Swanage Medical Practice Joins parkrun Practice Initiative to Promote Community Wellbeing
As part of our commitment to the health and wellness of our community, Swanage Medical Practice in Swanage has linked with Durlston Country Park parkrun and is now officially a parkrun practice. The parkrun practice initiative is a collaboration between the Royal College of General Practitioners and parkrun UK, designed to encourage practices across the UK to develop close links with their local parkrun.
Parkruns are social physical activity events which are held every Saturday morning. People can walk, run, volunteer or come along and watch. Taking part in parkrun is the perfect opportunity for people of all ages to be active, with others, in the open air. By linking with Durlston Country Park parkrun, we want to inspire as many people as possible to lead healthy lifestyles, including practice staff.
Join Durlston Country Park parkrun and discover the joy of movement while connecting with your fantastic community.
