We are going to get out for a social jog this Monday, with an approximately 5 km jog around the city centre to finish at one of the watering holes (e.g. Sandbar, Victoria Tap, ...) for some food and possibly cake.

As we head into the autumn and the winter with the nights drawing in, finding GoodGym tasks is a bit tricky, so bring along any ideas, suggestions, or contacts for GoodGym tasks over the darker months and we can brainstorm these during the run or over a drink.

About GoodGym

We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects across the Manchester region.

The Run/Walk/Cycle

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. We always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is.

Dress appropriately for outdoor conditions. Lights and hi vis for the darker evenings.

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

Options are available to run between 4km and 6km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
