About this session

Welcome to GoodGym York ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸƒWe're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city.

TONIGHT'S TASK๐ŸŒณ

Tonight we're heading along the river to New Walk to rake and remove grass cuttings witht eh St Nick's Green Corridor team

We'll be using hand tools, so please bring gardening gloves if you have them.

WHERE WE MEET ๐ŸŽ’

We will be meeting outside the Ackhorne Pub on St Martinโ€™s Lane, YO1 6LR (just off Micklegate). We can leave our bags and valuables in their office, which is secure.

๐ŸšฒThere is cycle parking nearby on both Micklegate and at the Priory Street Centre (as you approach the centre a 10 bay covered cycle parking is to the left in the car park) On street parking is available on Priory Street. These are all only a couple of minutes walk to the new meeting point.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US ๐Ÿ‘

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. If you prefer to walk let us know and we can arrange a walking group.

๐Ÿ‘We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.

POST-RUN SOCIAL ๐Ÿป

We will finish the group session back at The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane so why not stay for some liquid refreshment and a good chat?

This task supports
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 your area activator Vicky Hearson (she/her) by email at vicky@goodgym.org.

The total distance of this group run is 2km.

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.
