PARCS is currently working on a very special project – the creation of a ‘Garden of Hope’ in their back garden. This space will be dedicated to honouring the lives of those lost to suicide as a result of domestic abuse and sexual violence, as well as offering a place of reflection and hope for those still affected.

To help bring this project to life, PARCS have asked our amazing team of volunteers to support them by helping to clear the area where we plan to plant forget-me-nots. They would also love help with tidying and refreshing the surrounding space, as we’re planning to host a commemorative event to officially open the garden at the end of September.

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 3km and 4km 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.

Ideal for beginners
