With the help of Goodgym we have already created a lovely community orchard garden and reclaimed an overgrown allotment space to create starter beds for people new to allotmenting. We want to continue to improve Holgate Allotments to bring more of the plots back to life and make it easier for new gardeners to get growing.


About this session

Welcome to GoodGym York ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸƒWe're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to help the charities or community organisations in our city. You can see what else we've got on during the rest of the week here.

TONIGHT ๐ŸŒฑ Holgate Allotments have invited us back for another session tackling the overgrown allotment plot - this time with some forks!

THE TASK โš ๏ธ Donโ€™t forget your gardening gloves and head torches.

WHERE WE MEET ๐ŸŽ’ We meet at the Priory Street Centre and our usual room is the Foxwood Room. As you approach the front of the Centre, turn right and go to the car park area. The room we use is locked whilst we're out so you can leave your bits and bobs in there.

๐ŸšฒThere is cycle parking as you approach the Centre and a 10 bay pay and display car park and covered cycle parking to the left. In addition, on street parking is available on Priory Street.

RUNNING AND WALKING WITH US ๐Ÿ‘GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities.

๐Ÿ‘We always have a back-marker too so nobody will get left behind - no matter what your pace is.

๐Ÿ”ฆ We'll be running and working in the dark, so bring a head torch if you have one. We do carry a couple of spares so don't worry if you forget.

POST-RUN SOCIAL ๐ŸปWe normally head to The Ackhorne Pub on St Martin's Lane after our run for a spot of liquid refreshment and a good chat.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 3km and 3km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
