Tony Barnes Memorial Run & Picnic in Sefton Park

The annual Tony Barnes Memorial Run returns to Sefton Park on Wednesday, 8th July. You can sign up here for £24: https://mossleyhill.niftyentries.com/The-Tony-Barnes-Memorial-Sefton-Park-5-Mile-Race-2026

Don't fancy the run? Come along to cheer on your fellow GoodGymmers, or simply meet us afterwards for a Summers Eve picnic in the beautiful Sefton Park.

This run and picnic has become a bit of an annual Goodgym tradition, established by our wonderful Sally Ann. It's a lovely opportunity to meet up and socialise, run completely optional, and in previous years we've managed to put on quite a spread!

Meeting at 7pm to allow time to collect pre-registered race numbers before the run starts at 7.30pm. Meet up point near the registration centre, which is located near the Sefton Park lake car park, off Mossley Hill Drive and will be well signed posted.

Please note: signing up to this GoodGym task does NOT give entry to the race. To enter the race, you must register and pay the £24 entrance fee at https://mossleyhill.niftyentries.com/The-Tony-Barnes-Memorial-Sefton-Park-5-Mile-Race-2026. The run sells out each year so early registration is strongly recommended!

All are very welcome to skip the run and join the picnic, we'll update the WhatsApp group with picnic location but will congregate near the finish line to cheer all of the GoodGym runners across, before choosing a spot.

Picnic is potluck style - bring food to share!
