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
The Big Bear Run is a 10k run hosted by Aslam Bryan Wildlife Park and College which aims to raise funds for Project Moon Bear. The college have asked for volunteers to help make the day a success, so we will be doing various tasks including but not limited to :
- Providing water at the water stands
- Directing cars to the designated car parks
- Directing people to register and around the site
- Selling raffle tickets
- Encouraging runners on the route
Disappointingly, runners are not required to moon the rescued bears. Nor do the bears hilariously chase the runners round the course.
Basically, there will be no bears.
I will update this listing with more detailed timings etc. nearer the time. Volunteers will receive a family pass for the wildlife park they can use on the day or at another time. It sounds like it will be a fun day so let's get as many people involved either as volunteers or runners. 😁

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
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.

I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got GoodGym.
