About this session
Welcome to GoodGym Leicester! 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 in our area.
The Task:
We'll be running to deliver 2020 fundraising event booklets on behalf of the LOROS Hospice.
The Run/walk:
GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities and it is often possible to walk to the task if you would prefer. 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.
This task supports
Leaflet drops and other miscellaneous tasks
What to look out for
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.

Injury or harm may be caused to yourself or others around you heavy objects are dropped on feet or hands or harm may be caused if you lift heavy objects incorrectly.
Working close to others
Injury caused by working close to each other
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 Sarah by email at sarahhorner@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.

Group run cancellation Following extensive research, consultation with our trustees and work on how GoodGym as a community can play a positive role during the Coronavirus outbreak we have reached the conclusion to make extensive changes to our operations. **All group runs will stop for the foreseeable future** This decision has been made as these are the events at which most people gather and at which we are most at risk of spreading infection. We will continue to update this page with our most up to date guidance: https://www.goodgym.org/stories/coronavirus-information-for-goodgym-activities
