About this session
✅ Community Mission Join us to help support Cambridge City Foodbank through Your Party Youth Cambridge's mutual aid initiative. YPYC collect foodbank donations in town every week and need our help getting them to the foodbank in East Chesterton.
We'll collect the donations and run, walk or cycle them over. It is 1.5km between collection and drop-off points. Please bring a backpack or similar to carry donated items.
📌 Two ways to join: for the run and the task, or meet us directly at the task. At both meeting points you can't miss our red t-shirts!
**For the run: Meet at Parkside Pools at 6pm. We will meet inside the entrance of Parkside Pools where there are toilets and a bag drop. We'll warm up and then head out for a 2.5km jog/run, staying together as a group to head to the collection point.
For the task: Meet outside Stir (Chesterton Road, CB4 1BG) at 6:20pm.
💛 If it is your first time coming to GoodGym you are very welcome here - our friendly GoodGymers will be waiting to say hi!

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run to the task together. If you can't run for more than 15 minutes without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator Catherine by email at catherine@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 4km and 6km in total.
Remember that we will be running to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.
