Every week in Newcastle we work out by helping local community projects, and run back all within 90 minutes.
Run to plant trees for the local park
Run to shift earth for a community gardening project
Run to sort cans for the food bank

Before GoodGym I always lost motivation to stick at running or the gym but now I run two or three times a week.
Running with GoodGym is great because I get fit, do good and get to hang with a load of awesome people.
New to running?
Many people who didn't run are now running with GoodGym. A lot of our group runs have a walking option and no one ever gets left behind.
If you'd prefer to run, walk or cycle at your own pace then you can join a community mission - sessions in which you make your own way to the task without others.

- What should I bring?
- All you need is a pair of trainers - just don't wear your snazziest gear. Tools will be provided if necessary.
