About this session
Welcome to GoodGym Bexley!
We're a friendly group that combines exercise with practical help for local community organisations and charities. Every Wednesday evening we get together and head to an organisation to complete a physical task that makes a real difference. Afterwards we often go to a nearby pub or café for some social time together.
To get there we usually offer an optional group run. Whether you're an experienced runner or just starting out, everyone is welcome. We'll run at a pace that keeps the group together, and no one is ever left behind.
Prefer to walk? We can usually offer a group walk too.
Sorry, there's no group run or walk for this task, due to the earlier-than-usual start and duration of the session.
🎯The task
🎅 Santa Claus is coming to town...
We’ll be joining volunteers from the Community Hospice, walking alongside the Rotary Club’s Santa Sleigh as it tours the streets of Welling, collecting donations for local community projects and the Hospice.
The walk will be at a slow to moderate pace and will last around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours— plenty of time to enjoy the festive atmosphere and get those steps in!🚶♂️🚶♀️
Note that this task is earlier than our usual Wednesday evening sessions, so please arrive promptly—Santa doesn't want to be late for all the children waiting excitedly to see him!
Be sure to wrap up warm if the weather is cold 🧣🧤 and feel free to wear your best festive hat if you have one!

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 bexley@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 4km and 5km 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.
