Group Run: Weeding & litter picking @ Cossall Estate / Kirkwood Nature Reserve 🌱 + Summer Social (Frank's)

It'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 Roastery to Cossall Estate to assist Alan and Jaki (task owners) with weeding the beds outside Kirkwood Nature Reserve and the courtyard in Cossall Estate Community Centre, but also do some light litter picking in and around the Nature Reserve.

Since the first Wednesday of July clashes with a JP Morgan Run in Battersea Park, I have decided to move July's social a week earlier. This is a special one as it's our Summer Social, we're heading to Frank's rooftop bar.

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":

📍 We meet at Old Spike Peckham between 18:30-18:45. You can also meet us at the task: Cossall Hall, 48 Mortlock Close, Peckham, London SE15 2QE at 19:10.

⌚ 18:30 (leaving at 18:40 latest). If meeting at task, be there for 19:10. We will be back in Peckham by 20:15 (latest).

✅ There will be access to Old Spike Peckham, so you can drop your bags and use their toilets before we head out.

🏃🏃‍♀️ 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 2k each way. Running at a medium pace to get to the task in 15 minutes. We will spend 40-45 minutes doing the tasks mentioned above (or as much as we can) before running back to finish by 20:15.

Advisable: Gardening gloves 🧤 for the task.
