Our first group run of 2025!

It's Wednesday night and we're doing it right...it's also our group run night!

There's a Christmas tree drop-off point at Telegraph Hill, so we will be running 3k from Old Spike to Telegraph Hill before searching around the local streets to bring/drag back Christmas trees on behalf of the local community. We will spend 30 - 40 minutes searching for trees.

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 all you need to know:

๐Ÿ“ We meet at Old Spike Roastery in Peckham between 18:30-18:45. You can also meet us at the task: Telegraph Hill Centre, Telegraph Hill, London SE14 5TY by 19:15.

โŒš 18:30-18:45 (leaving at 18:45 latest). If meeting at task, be there for 19:15. We will be back in Peckham by 20:15.

๐ŸŽ’ There will be access to Old Spike Roastery, so you can drop your bags and use their toilets before we head out.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏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 3k each way plus running the streets around Telegraph Hill. Running at a medium pace to get to the task in 20-25 minutes. We will spend 30-40 minutes finding Christmas trees before running back to finish by 20:15.

Advisable: Bring ๐Ÿงค gardening gloves and ๐Ÿ”ฆ headtorches for the task!

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.
