Who this task will support
Kennington Park Road TRA
We have established a TRA (Tenant & Residents Association). Our small gardening projects enables residents including children from their families, to use the communal space. We also host events that include other local TRAs such as being the venue for gardening training & workshops.

For this group run we'll be helping out at a small block in Kennington Park Road, helping the residents with their community garden. We'll be setting off at 6:45 to run 5k there. We'll have two running groups, depending on whether you'd like to go fast, or take it easy.

Once we get to the gardens, we'll be doing a range of tasks:

  • shifting soil from the front garden to the back garden
  • move soil into planters
  • general gardening and tidying

New to GoodGym Southwark?

It can be daunting coming to your first group run but we are a nice welcoming bunch! All abilities welcome, whether you're a new runner or have been running for years.

Important Information

We meet at Old Spike Cafe in Peckham from 18:30 for a 18:45 start. You can leave bags in the cafe and use their toilets before we head out if you need to. If meeting at the task, be there for 19:15. The address is 67-73 Kennington Park Road, SE11 4JQ.

After a warm-up, we'll run as two groups. On this run, we will be running 5km to 67-73 Kennington Park Road. We will spend 45 minutes doing the tasks then run 5km back to Peckham (back by 20:30 latest). If 5k is enough running for you then there is also an option of taking a bus or train back to Peckham.

Bring gardening gloves if you have them.

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Old Spike Roastery, and Old Spike Roastery and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages.
