Local Bridge of Don-based business Perform Panel has kindly sponsored 750 medals for this year’s Active Schools Fun Run Series.

Active Schools is a sportscotland initiative, delivered in Aberdeen by Sport Aberdeen, and provides children in all primary and secondary schools with opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity.

The Fun Run Series is an annual event taking place in April and May at different venues across the city and is free for primary school pupils to enter.

Primary 1-3 pupils run 400m, Primary 4 pupils run 800m and Primary 5-7 pupils have the option of running 800m or 1600m.

Primary 4 pupils and Primary 5-7 pupils who run 1600m will then be considered for the end of series ‘Champion of Champions’ event which brings together the top runners from each venue.

The main ethos of these events is for children to come together, have fun and possibly try running for the first time!

As well as the provision of medals, Perform Panel has agreed to provide volunteers to help on the day with the individual races.
