GoodGym September Long Run
Follow the Wandle Trail along the river - with a pub at the end!
Location
The SpitWandsworth
SW18 1EJ
Date and time
17:00 - 19:30Meeting point
We're going to meet on the little island at the mouth of the River Wandle, where it meets the Thames at Wandsworth. It's easiest to get to from Wandsworth Town station, and is on Google Maps as The Spit, SW18 1EJ. Meet at 16:45 in order to head off at 17:00.
The route
The plan is to follow the Wandle Trail along the bank of the river as it winds its way towards Croydon. The route is around 17km, mainly on dirt paths with a few short sections on roads, and is largely flat (50m elevation over the entire length). We'll finish running in Wandle Park, which is the closest to the river source you can get without climbing into an underground pipe!
The pace
There should be a range of pace groups, including 5:00/km-5:30/km 5:30/km-6:00/km and 6:00/km-6:30/km.
Pick-up point/shorter route option
We will have one pick-up and regroup point halfway at the Surrey Arms, CR4 4DD.
The pub
Post-run we will be heading to the Dog & Bull for food and drinks!
Look forward to seeing everyone then! Any issues, please give us a call or drop us a text.

What to look out for
Age Restriction
GoodGym welcomes anyone aged 18 or over. If you are under 18 then you will be unable to participate in any GoodGym activity
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety when running and at a task.
I'll be up for joining the 5:30/km-6:00/km group, probably at the stop point (difficult to keep me away from the Dog & Bull! Will share this on the Croydon FB page in case any fancy joining)
Excellent, thanks Dom!
