Who this task will support
Discover Welling
Discover Welling is a community group which aims to help highlight all the good things about Welling as well as finding ways to help enhance the community spirit of Welling. We exist to build on what is good, not complain about things.


Having put the Remembrance poppies up on lamp posts along Welling town centre, we're returning to help Discover Welling take them all down again.

We'll be saving the poppies and the cable ties to be reused next year. A very environmentally friendly approach.

A headtorch would be useful, if you have one.

📍Meeting point Meet at 6.45pm at Costa Coffee in Blackfen. After a short warm-up we'll run via the roads to the cannon on Welling High Street (at the junction with Hook Lane). Julie from Discover Welling will meet us at the cannon at 7pm.

Prefer to meet us at the cannon? Please leave a comment below so we know to meet you there.

4km total distance

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

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

Ideal for beginners
