Run the Maidenhead Easter 10
This egg-cellent Good Friday 10-miler is a cracking way to kick off your Easter weekend!
This is Maidenhead's local race: organised by MAC and really well supported and attended by the local community. Support includes GoodGym volunteering on the course, so if you don't want to run then head over to this community mission listing instead
The relatively flat course covers 10 miles on rural roads and paths around Maidenhead. A few laps of the Maidenhead Office Park at the start give plenty of space for the pack to spread out and for last minute trips to the portaloos! The race then breaks out onto scenic bridleways West of Maidenhead, and past one of the country's oldest and best known airfields at White Waltham.

Please note, GoodGym does not allocate places for this event, this page is simply used to coordinate meeting with and supporting other GoodGym members who are attending. You should sign up to this listing AND you need to sign up through the official race page for an entry.
Note the start time for the run is 9.30am but the group will be meeting earlier in the race village.

Green hearts for climate awareness & sustainability
A chance to be creative, be active and fight the climate crisis? And I can complete this task at a time to suit me?? Sign me up!
Thanks to Claire Taylor from Wild Eton Wick, who has invited us to take part in this brilliant project. Claire's vision is for a window display at Windsor Yards comprising lots of green hearts mounted on white-washed pallets. The hearts will be made by local organisations, whose activities include promoting climate awareness and sustainability.
The project is part of a national initiative run by the Climate Coalition ahead of Valentine's Day. You can read more about it by clicking here.
So here's how to complete this community mission:
Make a green heart. You can make your heart any size you like, but roughly A4 width as a minimum. You can make it out of anything you fancy, but recycled materials are particularly encouraged. You could use paper, paint, fabric, wool, glass, plastic, etc....to quote Claire, 'imagination is our only restriction.' It does also need to be green! This is also an opportunity to promote GoodGym, so don't be shy about using the GoodGym logo in your design.
Run, walk or cycle to deliver your heart to Amy. If you need Amy's address you can contact her on amylovell@goodgym.org.
Do all of that before or on Wednesday 26th of January 2022.
Consider joining Amy and her bike trailer on a bike ride to Eton Wick or Windsor to deliver all the hearts to Claire. Comment below or in the WhatsApp group if you're keen!
