Date and time
18:45 - 20:30Welcome to GoodGym Croydon
We're a friendly and sociable 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 charities, community organisations and projects in our area.
Come and join us on our weekly group task.
We meet at 6.45pm and start running/walk or cycle at 7.00. We will work hard on our task for 30 to 45 minutes, have a fun fitness session then we all run/walk or cycle back to the start venue by 8.30pm.
The Task:
We’ll be helping to sort clothes for the Croydon Refugee Day Centre.
Task address: The Croydon Refugee Day Centre West Croydon Baptist Church Whitehorse Road Croydon, CR0 2JH
The Run/walk/cycle:
It’s around 1km to the venue and there will be options for a longer run or slower/walking group depending on needs.
GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners/walkers and cyclist of all abilities. It is often possible to walk/cycle to some of the tasks if you would prefer.
When jogging we always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is.
PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW START LOCATION, UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NO WHERE TO CHANGE OR STORE BAGS

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.

Date and time
18:45 - 20:30Walkable
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 1km and 2km 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.
