Date and time
18:15 - 20:00Welcome to GoodGym York 🙌
🏃♀️🏃We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city. You can see what else we've got on during the rest of the week here.
TONIGHT 🌳 We’ll be heading to Park Grove School to help with the annual task of cutting back the willow. This usually involves saws and loppers and is a popular one. If there are lots of us we will help with some other jobs around the site too. We will then finsih with some fun fitness on the school field.
THE TASK ⚠️ Don’t forget your head torches and gardening gloves
WHERE WE MEET 🎒 We meet at the Priory Street Centre and our usual room is the Foxwood Room. As you approach the front of the Centre, turn right and go to the car park area. The room we use is locked whilst we're out so you can leave your bits and bobs in there.
🚲There is cycle parking as you approach the Centre and a 10 bay pay and display car park and covered cycle parking to the left. In addition, on street parking is available on Priory Street.
RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US 👏GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities. We can offer a walking group tonight, please let us know if you'd like to walk so we can make sure we have a walk leader ready to guide you.
👍We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.
POST-RUN SOCIAL 🍻We normally head to The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane after our run for a spot of liquid refreshment and a good chat.
