Who this task will support
Christ Church
Christ Church is an Anglican Church built in 1851, known by locals as the Old Lady on the Hill. It has a Community Centre in the grounds as well as a Garden of Reflection for visitors.


We will be walking and running approximately 5km in total to Christ Church and back to help with a gardening task in the grounds of what is known locally as the Old Lady on the Hill, a stunning landmark in Central Swindon that can be seen from afar. We have been here quite a few times before; the last time back in August where we had a wonderful time weeding, chopping (and chatting!) in the Garden of Reflection.

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.

Options are available to run between 4km and 5km in total

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.

Ideal for beginners
