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 evening to get active and do a physical task for charities and community organisations across the borough and now we're starting a monthly Sunday run!

The Task

We're going to help out the Friends of Woolwich Common who meet each month to pick litter and to protect this beautiful land. They'll have plenty of bags and pickers so just bring some gloves with you. Fun fact: if you register to be an Environmental Champion at waste.advisors@royalgreenwich.gov.uk you can also get your own pickers from the council.

The Run

The run will be about 3km through Charlton Park, Maryon Wilson Park and Woolwich Common. You're welcome along at any pace - we never leave anyone behind!

Where & When

We'll meet at 10.15am for a 10.30am start in Charlton Park by the Old Cottage Coffee Shop. The litter pick will end at 12pm in Woolwich Common.

You're welcome to skip the run and meet at the common - the group will gather opposite the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on the common at 11am. Just please drop a note in the comment to let me know if you're meeting us there.

What to bring

Please bring some water and gloves if you have some, otherwise it's just yourself.
