On a cold, wintery Sunday morning, 8 brave souls gathered outside Falmer station. There were hats, gloves, cups of coffee and even some leg warmers - we were ready for our 10km run around the perimeter of Stanmer Park.

When asked which direction we wanted to go in, one response was "whichever way starts with the uphill". But in Stanmer Park, every option starts with an uphill...so climb we did!

Thankfully, the steady uphill track took us through some beautiful woodland and we were rewarded with panoramic views of Brighton when we finally reached the top. And we all know that what goes up must come down, and the second half of our trail run was a pleasant downhill jaunt through more woodland before opening out into the rolling hills of the lower park. But, that wasn't the end - we still had 1km to go before we reached our end destination - the local pub in Falmer Village and a warm plate of food!

Another Mass gathering of GoodGym-ers yesterday!

We went the S. Andrew Church in Hove to help John with a deep cleaning of the church before the busy festive time. We welcomed Ruth with an exiting hoovering task, while most others got themselves busy with dusting off and waxing on the benches.

We could not stop Ben’s excitement with the that swiffer duster kit 😊.

It was great to see all GoodGym-ers for this last group-led sessions of 2024 in full xmas action.

2024 – What an year it was for GoodGym Brighton!

614 Good Deeds so far, and more than 6,500 km run by 75 GoodGym-ers! And, it’s not over yet.

Why don’t you join us on Saturday’s community mission at Burning the Clock and for our Social ParkRun in Preston Park!

We feel ready to welcome the 2025 GoodGym January Challenge!
