Our Events.
We aim to post our events about 4 weeks in advance.
You can log into Playwaze to see everything that’s coming up and register for your spot.
What to expect from a typical group meet up.
All the information you need will be in the Playwaze event — including any suggested clothing or tools you might want to bring as well as a link to our planned route!
We meet at home base : there will be a lockable room for you to stash any belongings and a toilet available.
The run leader runs a group warm up.
Social paced run to the organisation where we’re helping out - these runs are between 1 and 2 miles. We take into account all paces - no one gets left behind!
We help out at a local charity or organisation for about an hour - the tasks vary, so keep an eye on Playwaze to see what we’ll be doing that week!
Head back to base for a group stretch and to collect our belongings.
Quick drink at the local for those that fancy it!
Community FitStars.
Our FitStars are our amazing members.
It’s easy to join and you can take part in as many or as few events as work for you!
At the moment we meet on Wednesdays from 5:45 - 8:00, followed by a quick drink for anyone who wants to come along!
We’re aiming to have more day and time options once we’ve grown our FitStar crew a bit more - so if Wednesdays don’t work for you, keep an eye on our page!
If you have any questions about being a Community FitStar, just pop us a note!

Community Tasks.
Community Tasks are opportunities for individuals to support the community outside of the group context. This means you can do tasks when it suits your schedule and travel at your own pace.
Community Tasks support an individual in the community who might need a little extra help — helping folks to live independently for longer.
Common tasks might include gardening, putting together furniture, filling a bird feeder, or taking out the bins.
You don’t need to be attending our Group runs to be a TaskStar and support Community Tasks
