The Co-op jogscotland 5k Challenges are 5k Fun Runs for people of all abilities – runners, joggers, walkers or even crawlers!
The runs are organised by jogscotland, the nation's jogging network, which aims to encourage people of ALL fitness levels into exercise, helping to improve their quality of life by providing regular training programmes, delivered locally by trained leaders, who make exercising outdoors a fun and friendly process.
Held in 5 beautiful venues across Scotland, the Co-op jogscotland Challenge runs have a reputation for being some of Scotland's best mass-participation races. At a jogscotland run, everyone's a winner – all finishers receive a t-shirt, a medal, and a fabulous Co-op goodie bag, and there is always a great carnival atmosphere with food, drink and plenty of entertainment for the whole family.

At the recent Co-op jogscotland 5k Challenge at Glasgow Green (Tuesday 19th June), the Scottish Rockettes were thrilled to be invited as Jog Scotty's (jogscotland's 7ft Scotty Dog mascot) guests of honour.
As the official starters of the Co-op jogscotland Mascot Challenge, the Rockettes cheered the competitors through to the finish line and posed for photos with each Mascot.
Then a capacity crowd of 1,200 joggers were mesmerised by the Rockettes' high-impact, high-kicking dance routine, performed on a tiny stage in the centre of Glasgow Green.
But the crowd wasn't watching for too long, as the Rockettes' qualified aerobic instructor, Pauline McGlinchey, took the platform with Jog Scotty, to lead a 6min mass warm-up that got everybody's hearts pumping and muscles stretched and warmed to perfection!
jogscotland's Communication Co-ordinator said, "The Rockettes were a delight to work with, extremely professional, with the confidence and energy to captivate the crowd, starting the evening's activities with a real buzz. They were so good, we have invited them back to our next event in Edinburgh!"
