About this session
Definition of PLOGGING
We'll meet in St Peter's Square outside Manchester Central Library, What3words///think.forum.votes and run/plog or walk from there. Depending on numbers, we can cover a couple of different areas such as:
- Ardwick Green or near the O2 Apollo
- Greek Street under the overpass
- Hulme Park and surroundings
I have council-provided bags, litter pickers, and a contact for arranging pick up of any litter we collect. I have a couple of pairs of gardening gloves, but if you have some, please do bring them along.
If you know of litter hotspots within a short run/walk from St Peter's Square, let us know!
About GoodGym
We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects across the Manchester region.
The Run/Walk/Cycle
GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. We always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is.
Our run will begin at ~ 6:20pm from St Peter's Square.
Dress appropriately for outdoor conditions.
What to look out for
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run, with the option of walking too. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run or walk to the task together. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us by email at manchester@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 1km and 6km in total.
Remember that we will be running or walking to and from the task, so you'll only be running or walking for half this distance in one go.
