Staff, pupils and parents at Hazlehead Academy have put their running shoes on to help with a popular fitness event in the city.
The youngsters walked, jogged, ran and volunteered at the Hazelhead Parkrun recently.
Home Economics teacher at the school, Fiona Mclver, said it was an ideal choice for the pupils as staff try to promote being active and getting involved in the community.
She said: “Many of the pupils, parents and staff run the various Parkruns in Aberdeen so we thought it would be a good idea to encourage more to come along by doing a takeover.”
Timekeeping, barcode scanning and volunteering roles were undertaken by some staff while others joined parents and pupils running the challenge.
Head teacher Jim Purdie added: “This is the first time I have been involved in running a Parkrun and I was really impressed with the organisation and community atmosphere.
“I will certainly be running it again in the future and I look forward to seeing more of our pupils, parents and staff participating and working with Hazlehead Parkrun.”
As well as running and volunteering, pupils and staff from the school’s art department painted a mural for the side of the Parkrun container which brightened up the start of the course.
Parkruns are free weekly timed 5km runs which take place across the world on Saturday mornings.
