This week we'll be meeting up on Bute Street, opposite the Hat Factory by the giant orange LUTON sign before heading out to our task in Wigmore Park.

Konni of the Luton Orchards Project needs our help there to water some fruit trees that were planted to create a new orchard. With the dry weather the last couple of months it's really critical that these young trees get support while they establish themselves. The task should be fairly simple, ferrying water by the bucket from the allotment fence and over to the trees!

It's 4.5 km out to the orchard so there's not enough time for walking this week but you can always join by bike if you don't fancy the run! Or make your own way there and meet us at the entrance to Wigmore Valley Park.

Options are available to run between 9km and 9km 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 or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
