EGRC Training Session - The Food Bank Run: Changing Room 4

The South Gloucestershire and North Bristol Food Bank are our Club Charity for 2024.

To further support their efforts to help needy people in our community, we are doing a Food Bank Run.

Book into the session as normal and, if you can afford to, bring along an item or items from the shopping list below. The Club Session will see us run to the Food Bank, based at the Resound Centre on Blackhorse Road, deliver everything we've collected (you'll need to carry what you are donating) and then run back to our Pomphrey Hill Pavilion HQ.

We'll have a number of pace groups on the night running appropriate distances such that (broadly) everyone arrives at the Resound Centre together and everyone arrives back at the Pavilion together; there will be a Run/Walk group too.

Here's the Shopping List:

• Tinned Veg – Sweet Corn, Green Beans, Carrots & Mushrooms

• Tinned Potatoes

• Instant Mashed Potato

• Tinned Chicken in White Sauce

• Tinned Mince Beef

• Tomato Based Cooking Sauces

• Tinned Fruit

• Tinned Rice Pudding

• Tinned Custard

• Tomato Soup

• Wrapped Chocolate Biscuits (Kit-Kats, Penguins etc)

• Washing Up Liquid

• Deodorant – Male and Female

• Shampoo / Conditioner

Thank you so much for all your kind support.

Important Note: We expect all attendees to our sessions to have completed a Couch to 5k or a parkrun. We are not equipped to look after those just starting out on their running journey.

Attendees to of our sessions are not expected to run or jog at a prescribed pace; everyone runs/jogs/walks as fast or as slow as they wish to at a pace that they determine themselves.

Any terms we use, fast, slow, comfortably hard, 5k pace etc are all intended to be relative to the capability, confidence and ability of the individual; you choose what the terms we use mean to you.

If you are in any doubt as to how your ability compares to other attendees, please try our Run/Walk sessions on a Monday first.
