About GoodGym

We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects across the Stockport region.

The Task

The Food Bank Run is a movement that is gaining pace over time.

Created off the back of a run started several years ago by Hampshire based running club, Fareham Running Club, we're now encouraging every club, group and food bank to link up and create their own Food Bank Run.

Our Ask: Our ask is: will you and your fellow runners join us to make that difference? The running community helping the local community. We would love you to join us in doing your own Food Bank Run.

For the food bank run, please bring any items of tinned or dry food goods, toiletries or healthcare items to the run. You can ask friends, family or colleagues to raid the cupboards for a few items! We will then run these down to our local foodbank drop off point.

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 10km 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.
