Springfield Park
Springfield Park is located between Stamford Hill and the River Lee, with views over the Lea Valley. The Park provides lots of opportunities for the local community to access recreational and sporting activities, and connect with nature. In 2017 a restoration project kicked off to restore the park to its former glory. But there is still more to do to enhance the park for the local community and create more habitat for biodiversity. We would love your help!

We've got a special session in Hackney this Wednesday as part of the Hackney Moves Run Club ahead of the Hackney Moves Half Marathon on Sunday18th May.

If you've got a place or not, this session is for everyone. We'll be running 4km to Springfield Park to help rejuvenate a woodchip path. We'll be using wheelbarrows to transport new mulch, before spreading it along the path.

Everyone is welcome - please bring friends and family. We're a friendly bunch and never leave anyone behind. We run at a conversational pace so don't worry about speed!

The run will be 8km in total but with a 45 min gap in the middle so you'll only be running 4km at any one time.

We'll be meeting at 6.45pm at the Stronghold Climbing Centre. We'll leave at 7pm and return by 8.30pm.

New to GoodGym?

This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.

New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

Options are available to run between 8km and 8km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us or see if there's a starter session coming up in your area.
