Hazlegrove Park Run encourages every child to have a go

The Hazlegrove Park Run is a 1.8km parkland running course that takes place every Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime at 12:45pm. Boys and Girls from Year 3 to 8 come along and change into PE kit and run the beautiful course.

The pupils attendances are noted and they receive a milestone token for the accumulation of runs at 15, 30, 40 and the final reward of a special memento, the HzG ParkRun T-Shirt is awarded to those children who achieve fifty or more runs across the academic year.

Sports teacher, Mrs Katie Cobb says: "It is a great opportunity for pupils to improve their overall fitness or just take time out of the classroom and enjoy the peace and tranquility that running outside in the parkland can bring. 

"We are delighted to present the first ‘15’ milestone key-rings of the term to four of our pupils and look forward to seeing many more over the academic year."
