Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
For this task you'll need to sign up with parkrun as well as joining via this listing. We've explained everything in the 'How to volunteer' section below 👇.
Avery Hill parkrun is a free, weekly, timed 5k event every Saturday morning in Avery Hill Park. It's run completely by volunteers and you'll be made to feel most welcome at this lovely friendly event.
There are plenty of volunteering roles to choose from including marshals, barcode scanners, finish token giver-outers and tail walkers. You'll get a parkrun volunteer credit AND a GoodGym good deed after you've attended!
If you don't want to miss out on the actual run or walk, there are some roles you can do before or after.
📍** Meeting point**
Meet at near the cafe in Avery Hill Park. The nearest postcode is SE9 7FD. Your contact is the Run Director, usually wearing a blue hi-vis jacket.
There may not be a GoodGym Bexley leader at this task, but the parkrun organisers will make you feel very welcome. Look out for other GoodGymers and perhaps one of you can write short report and add photos of you at the task via the 'Mission Accomplished' email that will land in your inbox later in the day.

This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs
This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
