Welcome to GoodGym York๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸƒWe're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.

TONIGHT

Weโ€™ll be heading to Green Lane Allotments in Acomb to help with woodchip spreading, leaf clearing and dead hedging

THE TASK

โš ๏ธ We'll be using hand tools, so please bring gardening gloves if you have them. It will still eb dark so a headtorch is also useful, but we will bring a couple of spares

WHERE WE MEET ๐ŸŽ’

We will be meeting outside the Ackhorne Pub on St Martinโ€™s Lane, YO1 6LR (just off Micklegate). We can leave our bags and valuables in their office, which is secure.

๐ŸšฒThere is cycle parking nearby on both Micklegate and at the Priory Street Centre (as you approach the centre a 10 bay covered cycle parking is to the left in the car park) On street parking is available on Priory Street. These are all only a couple of minutes walk to the new meeting point.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US

๐Ÿ‘ GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. This task is a bit far for a walking group but feel free to meet us there or cycle.

๐Ÿ‘We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.

POST-RUN SOCIAL

๐Ÿป We will finish the group session back at The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane so why not stay for some liquid refreshment and a good chat?

Options are available to run between 5km and 5km 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.
