GoodGym x ROoT special task at Southbank Centre
Celebrate the Climate Relay up on the roof
Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
The Southbank Centre is an iconic building on the River Thames but did you know there is a secret garden on its roof? This task is part of the Running Out of Time climate relay - more info on that below.
At the moment we are chatting with the Southbank Centre about whether a task is needed that night. If one isn't, then we will be visiting the bar on the roof for a photocall for the relay and then maybe staying to enjoy a few drinks in the sunshine. Details will be confirmed ASAP. Whatever happens, fun is guaranteed.
Please note - task size
Due to the size of the space at the Southbank Centre on 20th June there is a limit of 20 people at this task. Please only sign up if you are 100% able to make it.
Further info on the Running Out of Time climate relay
The Running Out of Time climate relay is an ambitious non-stop relay from Ben Nevis to Big Ben to highlight the impact of climate change and call on decision makers to take action.
People from all over the UK will be running, walking, cycling, kayaking, climbing, wheeling, swimming and surfing the baton 2,436km across Britain for 29 days to supercharge awareness, celebrate great climate work and inspire action.

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 community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs
This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
