Pupils get on their marks for fundraising fun run

PUPILS from Parkhead Primary School, West Calder, are preparing to take part in the UK’s biggest fun run.

The two kilometre Tesco Great School Run is now in its eighth year, with parents joining pupils for the race on Monday. As part of the run, the pupils will also be fundraising for Mary’s Meals, the official charity of the Tesco Great School Run.

Around 1.25 million children across the UK will take part in their own runs until July 23.

A spokesperson for Parkhead Primary said: “We are all so excited, the Tesco Great School Run has been an inspiration for the whole school community and something we could really work towards.

“Our pupil health team has helped us get organised and we’re even having an athlete’s lunch for everyone to highlight the importance of a healthy and balanced diet.”

Registration is open until May 25 to schools only. Teachers can sign up online at www.greatschoolrun.org.
