Hi everyone and welcome to GoodGym Greenwich!

We're a friendly and social group who combine running with volunteering in the local community. We meet every Wednesday to get active and do a physical task for charities and community organisations in the area.

The Task

This week we've got our first task at the Memorial Hospital which has a huge plot of land backing onto Oxleas Woods. They've created a woodland walk for patients to enjoy and need some extra hands to spread woodchip and cut back brambles to keep the path clear.

The Run

Our run this week will nearly 3km each way and we will be running up shooters hill on the way there. Everyone is welcome at any pace - we never leave anyone behind! You're welcome to meet at the task if you don't fancy the run.

Where & When

We will meet slightly earlier at 6.30pm for a 6.45pm start at Charlton House on the corner of Hornfair Road. The what three words location is "army.rips.spicy". Give Rachel a call on 07952192005 if you can't find us!

If you'd like to meet at the task, you're very welcome to do so! We will be there about 7.20pm. The address is the Memorial Hospital, Shooters Hill Road, SE18 3RG. The what-three-words location is "danger.erase.bunch". The session will be about 90 minutes in total so we should be all wrapped up by 8.30pm.

What To Bring

Please bring some gloves if you have some, otherwise it's just yourself!
