COMMUNITY retailer the Co-op has been working with the organisers of Brighton and Hove parkrun.
Runners had a special treat during Saturday’s event as the Co-op handed out free recipe boxes containing healthy food products.
In addition, every parkrunner and all volunteers received recipe advice and food inspiration in a bid to create a healthier and happier community through physical activity, food and lifestyle.
Co-op Food is the first retail supporter of parkrun UK, which supports volunteers in more than 520 communities around the country to co-ordinate free, timed, 5k events for runners and walkers every Saturday morning.
Over the coming months the Co-op team will be visiting parkruns across the UK to promote #HealthySwaps, a campaign to get as many people as possible to make a small change to their everyday lifestyle choices.Visit www.co-operativefood.co.uk/parkrun for more.
