About this session
We'll be back to continue with other bits and jobs that need doing on the orchard. Mostly we'll be weeding and giving some plum trees in Philips Park a bit of care and pruning.
For those wanting a short run/light jog, we will do a loop or two of Philips Park before the task, meeting near the entrance close to COOP Live, What3Words: ///relay.stale.strut for 17:40.
For those just coming for the session, we'll be meeting directly at the task inside Philips Park, What3words: ///waving.zebra.radio for 6pm.
Eden Gardens Orchard is a welcoming community garden in the heart of Philips Park. Open to visitors and volunteers, it offers a peaceful green space for relaxation, learning, and connection.
The orchard promotes wellbeing and community, inviting locals to engage with nature through hands on gardening and seasonal activities.
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.
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 0km 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.
