About this session
Important Information
The plan is to meet up at the Arsenal Community Hub on Benwell Road, and after a short warm up, health and safety briefing and a warm welcome, we will run together to Thornhill Square Gardens.
Anna and the team will be on hand to offer us some lovely satisfying gardening tasks around one of the largest green open spaces in Islington!
Our plan is to help with a large springtime planting project. Tasks will involve digging to remove weeds, lifting plants from the beds to new locations and spreading grit to improve the overall quality of the soil across the park. Lots of physical tasks- a good workout!
Task Location:
Thornhill Square Gardens, London N1 2BN
If you are not planning to run with us, our arrival time at Thornhill Square Gardens will be 7.10 - 7.15pm.
After our session, we will aim to arrive back at the Arsenal Community Hub for 8.30pm at the latest.
Things to Note
We are delighted to announce that we now have a bag drop and bathroom facilities for our group runs. Thank you to Arsenal Community Hub for accomodating us!
Please allow enough time to drop bags, as we will be running at 7pm sharp!

'A quiet oasis off Caledonian Road. Plenty of space (it is the largest square in Islington) to picnic, rest, read, admire the flowers shrubs and trees, and walk a dog. Volunteers, with the council are working to encourage healthy activities, including walking and yoga, and also to improve the diversity of wildlife in the park.'

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 Simon Fitzmaurice by email at simonfitzmaurice@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 5km 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.
