The Well Coffee LoungeSupport This Girl Can and Let's Lift the Curfew
Sport England's This Girl Can campaign seeks to change how women think and feel about sport & physical activity and encourage women to be active in ways that work for them, regardless of age, background or ability.
Let’s Lift The Curfew launched in 2023 to showcase women’s stories and concerns around getting active outdoors in the darker months when the clocks go back, as well as calling on wider society to acknowledge their role in making getting active outdoors safer for women.
This year, This Girl Can is looking to go bolder and bigger, so they are supporting GoodGym to help transform the campaign into an annual movement that can raise awareness and take critical steps towards making outdoor exercise safer for women.
How to support the campaign
Read up: England Athletics have produced a guide to running in the dark for individual runners and leaders that we would recommend reading through to consider ways to keep safe in the dark.
Good Gym has also produced training for male allies to help contribute towards women’s safety at night that would be good to circulate with any male members.
Clothing considerations: Front and rear runners should ideally wear high-visibility, brightly coloured clothing. Where possible encourage members to use reflective clothing and have some members use headlamps or handheld lights for visibility.
Sharing the event: Use #LetsLiftTheCurfew in all social media related to your event. We'd love to see running leaders and members livestream and post videos and pictures from your LLTC run using the hashtag to build momentum across social media.
Tonight's session
We have been asked by The Well Coffee Lounge if we could help them clean their large globe lights ready for the winter.
Runners to meet at King's Park cricket club at 6.45pm. For those wanting to make their own way, please meet at the task at 7pm.

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.
Options are available to run between 2km and 2km in total
