Elmington Community GardenIt's Wednesday night and we're doing it right...it's also our group run night!
In this group run, we will be running from Old Spike Peckham to Elmington Estate, which is a 3k run each way to help Catalina and the Elmington Community Garden gang with gardening, tidying and weeding. This is our last summer session with Elmington Community Gardens as we helped them on a monthly basis since April with their pockets of green spaces throughout the estate as they didn't have enough volunteers to look after the space until GoodGym Southwark stepped in...
It's also the first Wednesday of the month, so we have our monthly social. We will be heading to Jumbi by Bussey Building near Peckham Rye station after the group run as a last "hoorah" to the summer! Caribbean cocktails, anyone?
Come along for the run or you can also meet us at the task: The Wildlife Triangle, London, SE5 7NJ at 19:15.
New to GoodGym Southwark?
Not to worry, it can be daunting coming to your first group run, but we are so welcoming whether you're just starting out as a runner or have been running for years. We welcome all!
Here's the important information - the "Where, When and What":
๐ We meet at Old Spike Peckham between 18:30-18:45. Alternatively, meet us at the task: The Wildlife Triangle, London, SE5 7NJ at 19:15.
โ 18:30-18:45 (leaving at 18:45 latest).
โ There will be access to Old Spike Peckham, so you can drop your bags and use their toilets before we head out.
๐๐โโ๏ธ After a quick warm-up, we run together as a group. If there are loads of us, there will be a back marker to ensure no one is left behind. On this run, we will be running 6k in total (3k each way). We will spend 35-40 minutes doing the tasks mentioned above (or as much as we can) before running back.
Advisable: Bring ๐งค gardening gloves.

Elmington Community GardenWalkable
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 3km 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.
