GoodGym is a wonderful initiative. It combines three of the most powerful ways of uplifting your own wellbeing – exercising, socialising, and, above all, doing good for others

All of our tasks are fun, but this one really felt like we were having a clear and direct impact on those in need, and whilst packing the bags we could literally imagine a child opening their bag on Christmas Day.

About the task
Welcome to WWF x GoodGym’s Workout for Nature. From 7th April to 4th May WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!
We'll be meeting with SUSTRANS Volunteer John Kirkwood to help keep Sheffield's walking, running and cycling routes spic and span and improve Active Travel routes for all.
We'll be meeting John at Norfolk Park Road towards Granville Road at What3words ///swept.trend.filed spot on the National Cycle Network (NCN) that he has identified as being in need of some gg love and attention.
Expect options for:
- Path clearing
- Cutting back
- Sign cleaning
- Litter Picking
- Sweeping
- Leaf clearing
- Sign maintenance
Please bring your own gloves and a head torch, so we can get straight to the task and get stuck right in!
Location
There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Showroom Cinema, and Showroom Cinema and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
This task supports the organisation SUSTRANS
The charity that makes it easier for people to walk and cycle.
Sustrans are engineers and educators, experts and advocates. They connect people and places, create liveable neighbourhoods, transform the school run and deliver a happier, healthier commute. Sustrans works in partnership, bringing people together to find the right solutions. They make the case for walking and cycling by using robust evidence and showing what can be done. Sustrans are grounded in communities and believe that grassroots support combined with political leadership drives real change, fast.
See moreWhat 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. 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 Tom Mutton by email at tomm@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 3km and 4km 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.
