Welcome to GoodGym Bexley!

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

The task

🎅 Santa Claus is coming...

We’ll be joining volunteers from the Community Hospice, walking alongside the Rotary Club’s Santa Sleigh as it tours the streets of Welling, collecting donations for local community projects and the Hospice.

The walk will be at a slow to moderate pace and will last around 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours— plenty of time to enjoy the festive atmosphere and get those steps in!🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Note that this task is earlier than our usual Wednesday evening sessions, so please arrive promptly—Santa doesn't want to be late for all the children waiting excitedly to see him!

📍When and where

Meet at the Santa Sleigh at 6pm for a prompt 6.15pm start, at the junction of Sherwood Road with Welling Way (approx. postcode DA16 2RX, What3Words:///crisp.ideas.effort). Look for Faye from the Community Hospice, who will explain how it all works.

Be sure to wrap up warm if the weather is cold 🧣🧤 and feel free to wear your Santa hat if you have one!

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 4km 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.
