Who this task will support
Prospect Hospice
Prospect Hospice offers unparalled end-of-life care services for a community of more than 300,000 people in Swindon, Marlborough and North Wiltshire.


We will be walking and running approximately 7km in total to the Prospect Hospice and back to help with a gardening task in the grounds of the Prospect Hospice in Wroughton. The Remembrance Garden provides a peaceful area for individuals to create a lasting memory for their loved ones. Our job is to tidy it up and tackle the weeds so that it is in good condition for visitors to the Prospect. A very worthwhile job for a charity that has touched all of our hearts in one way or another ❤️

We will be meeting at 6pm at Broome Manor Golf Complex*; just look out for us in the red and black GoodGym tops! After the task, we may be able to fit in a short exercise session before heading back to Broome Manor.

Please note: This Group Run is Walkable, meaning that there will be one group of Walkers leaving Broome Manor just after 6pm (led by a Task Force Member) and a second group of Runners leaving Broome Manor at around 6:10pm (led by a Run Leader). Please also be aware that GoodGym runs are suitable for runners of all abilities. All our runs are backmarked and we never leave anyone behind.

*Please look out for our Run Leader, Simon who will meet you all outside the Clubhouse at Broome Manor Golf Complex.

Please note that for the time being, our Group Runs will start in various outdoor locations meaning that lockers, toilets and refreshment facilities may not be available before and after the Group Run. We hope that this will change in the future and that at some point soon we can return to a regular meeting point with facilities. For the meantime let's just enjoy meeting up again - we have a lot to catch up on 😊

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

7km total distance

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

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
