Go Islington! Festival of Running, Dancing, Cycling, and Arts

If you feel like getting active on this lovely Sunday afternoon, the Go Islington! festival is running until 4pm in Highbury Fields.

If you're a runner (or keen on giving it a go), you'll be able to enter a 1k run around Highbury Fields or a 3k run from Highbury Fields

to Arsenal Emirates Stadium and back. All runners receive a medal and a

goody bag.

If you like to get about on bike, you can go on a cycle tour around Islington – learn safe cycling routes and

fascinating facts about Islington. There'll be help and advice on hand from the people at Micycle, the Islington cycle safety and training shop.

For those into dancing, you can join in with Islington's T' Mobile Big Dance event with open air

performances by professional and community groups, take part in the Big

Dance Ceilidh or the Schools pledge, or learn the Big World Dance

routine. There is something for everyone so get up and have a go.

Groups include Cando2, the Company of

Elders, the Central School of Ballet, All Change, Classes and Courses

from the Place, The Place Centre for Advanced Training, Breakin

Convention, the Islington Youth Dance Company, Studio Youth, Grafton

school, Havok, Interlude, SC Warriors and Rouge.

So if you're feeling bad about sitting at the computer and wasting a sunny Sunday, why not get out there before the end of the day and improve your fitness?
