Cooper Park junior parkrun & Moray Active Schools Participation League Sign up and Information 2025/2026 – Restaring 31st August 2025
Active Schools and Cooper Park junior parkrun are continuing the partnership to deliver the Participation league. Last academic year was a real success, and we aim to build on this for 2025/2026. For those who aren’t aware, on the last Sunday of every month, if your child participates in the Cooper Park junior parkrun on that day, they will receive 1 point for their school. Points will be accumulated until the end of May 2026. The first returning event will be on Sunday 31st August
Full information on ‘How it works’, ‘to participate’, ‘Event Information’, ‘To register’ and ‘contact information’ can be found below.
How it works; on completion of the parkrun on the last Sunday of every month, the Active Schools team will check the Cooper Park Junior Parkrun results. All those who participated and have registered to the league will receive a point for their school. We are encouraging participation therefore finishing positions will not affect the number of points received, the structure will always be 1 point per finisher. The points will keep building until the last Parkrun of the school year in May 2026. Points cannot be back dated. The school with the most overall participation points will win their respective league. We will have 3 categories, small primary schools (99 pupils on the school role or less) large primary schools (100 pupils on the school role or more) and secondary schools (Please note the age limit for Junior Park Run is between 4 and 14). Any child can run in as many or as few of these events as they wish.
To participate, your child must be 4 – 14 years of age and be registered with Parkrun and complete the Cooper Park junior parkrun & Active Schools Participation League Sign up. The parkrun link only needs to be completed once and that will be your child set for life on the parkrun website. The Active Schools link must be completed only once before their first participation league park run; this will cover them for all 25/26 participation league park run. To ensure your child’s participation is recorded, your child MUST scan their parkrun barcode received directly from parkrun via email at the end of the run.
