GG Luton x Let's Lift the Curfew: Wednesday Group Run to Penrose Roots

Let's Lift the Curfew 2026: join us for a special session

Tonight we're joining forces with This Girl Can and their Let's Lift the Curfew campaign.

When the clocks go back on Sunday 25 October, millions of women across the UK will once again see their world get smaller as the nights get darker.

Safety concerns affect where they go, when they go, who they go with and whether they can be active outdoors at all.

Whether shaped by past experiences, stories they've heard, or not feeling comfortable or confident in a particular place after dark, many women are unable to be active outdoors or use public spaces in the same way that men do.

In fact, nearly three-quarters (72%) of women in the UK change their outdoor activity routines during winter. Let's Lift the Curfew challenges this reality to ensure no woman has to change where, when or how she gets active because of safety concerns.

You can read about, and complete, GoodGym's own training on this issue here.

Tonight's Task

Wednesday evening group sessions are all about coming together as a big team and heading out together to a practical task out in the community.

We meet up at 6:45 at the outdoor stage opposite the Hat Factory on Bute Street, where we say hi to eachother and warm up for the run.

This week we're going to the Penrose Roots garden, Pete's having some time off so we'll meet Lynne and tackle whatever tasks the allotment has for us. Likely a bit of weed pulling, digging/raking over and preparing the garden for winter.

Walkers are welcome most weeks if the distance to the task isn't too far. We might send you off a bit early so we arrive at similar times.

Bikers are welcome too but make sure you've got lights and are happy riding in the road when we're not on cycle paths.
