Please note that this group run has been cancelled.

The GoodGym January Challenge is back! From the 1st to the 31st of January, across the country, we are going to walk, run and cycle to complete as many good deeds as we can.

This our first GoodGym group session of 2026 and we can turn this session into an informal training run to begin the new year moving together - up for it?

Likewise last year, we can help Brighton & Hove City Clean Team to collect on route and collate Christmas trees in their designed recycling points. See HERE where to recycle your Christmas tree! Any little will help to keep off those trees from the city streets. How Good is this?

Meet at our regular meeting point in Brighton ie Queens Victoria Statue, in Victoria's Gardens, at 18:15 to leave no later than 18:30.

Bring headtorch, gloves and visors (if you have them).



GoodGym Brighton is gamed for the January Challenge!

Welcome Challenger!

All good deeds and distance you record on Strava will go towards our community target of 4500 good deeds, and 65,000km covered nationwide.

If ever there was a reason to join us, this is it 🙌.

And, don't forget to log on all your good deeds on your GoodGym profile and your run-kms on your Strava profile/club GoodGym to participate in the January Challenge. HERE's how to.

Are you on a mission to do a 5K parkrun or even a marathon during 2026?

Mine is just to keep up with running together with my GoodGym mates :-). Here are some tips on how to move from the Couch to 5Kto gradually work up towards running 5km in just 9 weeks to run with us at our local parkruns.

Happy GoodGym-ing!

Sorry GoodGymers!

We decided to CANCEL this evening session due to freezing + ice + slippery conditions - It is NOT safe walking/running around outdoors .

Yeah, I know - the collection of xmas trees from the streets is usually our first fun session of January, but "break a leg" would have not been a good wish for our competition on this occasion. (This is a joke ;-)

Let's keep looking forward to seeing each other, and to get fit to make good together.

[HERE](https://www.goodgym.org/v3/areas/brighton/sessions?type=all) the next sessions on our calendar. More will be posted, so keep an eye on it.

Happy GoodGym-ing
