Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
For this task you'll need to sign up with parkrun as well as joining via this listing. We've explained everything in the 'How to volunteer' section below 👀.
Avery Hill parkrun (formerly called Greenwich parkrun) is a free, weekly, timed 5k event every Saturday morning in Avery Hill Park. Everyone is welcome to walk, jog, run or volunteer! This is a really friendly event and you'll be made to feel most welcome.
There are plenty of volunteering roles to choose from including marshals, barcode scanners, finish token giver-outers and tail walkers. You'll get a parkrun volunteer credit AND a GoodGym good deed after you've attended!

What to look out for
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs
This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
