Welcome to GoodGym Croydon!

We're a friendly and sociable group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help charities, community organisations and projects in our area.

Come and join us on Tuesday 23 July 2024, for our weekly group task.

We meet at 6.45pm and start running/walk or cycle at 7.00. We will work hard on our task for 30 to 45 minutes, have a fun fitness session then we all run/walk or cycle back to the start location by 8.30pm.

The Task:

Gardening with Pam in the allotments at Thornton Heath

Please bring your own gardening gloves too!

Do be prepared for the weather!

Once the work in the park is done as I know you will have a bit more in the tank, be prepared for an eventful fitness session.

The Run/walk/cycle: This week the distance is approximately 2km.

GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners/walkers and cyclist of all abilities. It is often possible to walk/cycle to some of the tasks if you would prefer.

When jogging we always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is.

The Essentials:

PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW START LOCATION, UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE NO CHANGING FACILITIES OR PLACE TO STORE BAGS

Options are available to run between 3km and 5km 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.
