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
The caretaker at Strand on the Green has asked us to come and tackle a big - but hopefully very satisfying! - job sanding and painting the benches at the school. This will make them more attractive and usable for kids and staff. There will also be other jobs including weeding and clearing to be done.
Please bring a headtorch or light source if you have one as light is a bit of an issue in some parts of the site.
We will finish off with an optional fitness session on the lovely astroturf!

here'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 Chiswick Town Hall, and Chiswick Town Hall and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages
