This task is to provide some general maintenance for the Tiny Forest at Bensham Grove in Gateshead.

The task is a little further away from One Strawberry Lane than usual, a distance of 1.8 miles. There will be no walking option as a result, but runners and cyclists will be just fine. Gardening gloves will be provided. If you have any small gardening tools, like secateurs or small pruning shears, then please feel free to bring the along.

Options are available to run between 3km and 6km 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.
