About this session
Welcome to WWF x GoodGymโs Workout for Nature
Throughout April WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!
It's Wednesday night and we're doing it right...it's also our group run night!
In this group run, we will be running from Old Spike Peckham to Elmington Estate, which is a 3k run each way to help Catalina and the Elmington Community Garden gang with gardening, tidying and weeding.
Come along for the run or you can also meet us at the task: The Wildlife Triangle, London, SE5 7NJ at 19:15.
New to GoodGym Southwark?
Not to worry, it can be daunting coming to your first group run, but we are so welcoming whether you're just starting out as a runner or have been running for years. We welcome all!
Here's the important information - the "Where, When and What":
๐ We meet at Old Spike Peckham between 18:30-18:45. Alternatively, meet us at the task: The Wildlife Triangle, London, SE5 7NJ at 19:15.
โ 18:30-18:45 (leaving at 18:45 latest).
โ There will be access to Old Spike Peckham, so you can drop your bags and use their toilets before we head out.
๐๐โโ๏ธ After a quick warm-up, we run together as a group. If there are loads of us, there will be a back marker to ensure no one is left behind. On this run, we will be running 6k in total (3k each way). We will spend 35-40 minutes doing the tasks mentioned above (or as much as we can) before running back.
Advisable: Bring ๐งค gardening gloves.

Members and volunteers of Elmington Estate have setup a community garden at the The Wildlife Triangle on Brisbane Street to transform this lawn into a wildlife garden.

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run, with the option of walking too. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run or walk to the task together. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us by email at southwark@goodgym.org.
Options are available to run between 3km and 6km in total.
Remember that we will be running or walking to and from the task, so you'll only be running or walking for half this distance in one go.
Location
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.
