It’s a very special session ….

Tonight Goodgym Brent, and Black Girls Do Run will collaborate to 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: 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.

If you have any reflective or bright clothing, any headlamps or lights , then tonight is the night to wear or bring them !!!

Tonight's session We will be running to Abbey Community Centre to help them out , and supporting the #LetsLiftTheCurfew run, to draw attention to the safety concerns women face when getting active during the winter months.

It’s a 3km run each way , we will run to Jason at Abbey Community centre 172 Belsize Road, Kilburn London NW6 4BJ We will help with some cleaning of tables , chairs and brushing away cobwebs

We meet at Beer + Burger - we can leave bags securely and there are some toilet facilities. Do try not to bring too much and remember all items are left at your own risk.

Walkable

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 6km and 6km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
