Walk, jog or run a 5k in 2010
Are you looking for a new challenge in 2010?
The jogscotland 5k challenges are back and will be visiting a venue near you this summer, with Healthy Working Lives!
The Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives aims to promote and facilitate physical activity programmes and as physical activity is at the heart of everything jogscotland does, we are delighted to have them on board!
Held midweek, on summer evenings during June, the Healthy Working Lives jogscotland 5k challenges are events that the whole family and community can enjoy.
The Healthy Working Lives jogscotland 5k challenge series can be used to go for a P.B, as a training run or just for fun! The main thing is being active and enjoying yourself while out in the fresh air!
