CALDERDALE GPs and their patients are gearing up to take part in the borough’s first ever GP practice parkrun.

Several practices across Calderdale have already signed up to run, jog, walk or volunteer at their local parkrun – Halifax, Brighouse or Todmorden – on Saturday, September 28, at 9am.

Calderdale Council has been working with practices to inspire as many GPs, staff and patients as possible to take part and to become ‘parkrun practices’, which encourage people to regularly attend an event to be more active and help boost their health and wellbeing.

This is part of Active Calderdale – the physical activity strategy created by the council and partner organisations across Calderdale, encouraging people to live a healthier life.
