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!

This week we're heading to the Dorset Road Allotments site. They do a load of nice community stuff and they want to turn an area which is currently an old chicken run overrun with brambles into a space for more community activities.

We'll be dismantling, using wire cutters, piling up wood and trimming back vegetation. It's good fun!

The run is 3km each way.


πŸ“ Meet at the Bridge House from 6:45pm. You can leave coats etc with the bar staff.

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ 7pm group jog to the task

βœ… 7:20 complete the task

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ 8pm group jog back to the Bridge House

πŸ§ƒ 8:30 go home/stick around for a drink


πŸ‘Ÿ New to running? We jog at a relaxed pace and always have a backmarker so no-one gets left behind.

⏰ Running late or don’t fancy the jog? Meet us at the task venue at 7:20pm

πŸ’‘πŸ§€ Dress for the task/weather - gardening gloves for outside tasks, head torch for dark tasks.

Options are available to run between 6km and 6km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
