Support 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: GoodGym 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.

The task this week

Green Dragon primary school in Brentford has school garden that is covered in brambles. They have plans to transform it into a space to plant vegetables and flowers, as most of the children live in high rise flats and don't have access to growing plants. We will be coming to clear the area and make it kid friendly again!

Please bring gloves if you have them.

5km total distance

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.

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
