PARQ
Before anyone joins your group for the first time, you must ask them to complete and sign a copy of the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ)
Downloadable PARQ (Word document – updated for use post-GDPR – to be used in tandem with the Privacy Notice for your group.)
This is important because it will:
- Let you know about any health conditions they have that might affect their ability to exercise. If you have any concerns, make sure they have spoken to their doctor. You are also welcome to contact the jogscotland office for advice.
- Ensure they are covered by our insurance policy while jogging with your jogscotland group.
You can also download this PARQ for new and expectant mums (Word document – updated for use post-GDPR – to be used in tandem with the Privacy Notice for your group.)
There’s no need to send PARQs in to the jogscotland office – just keep them for your own records. Remember that to remain in line with GDPR, you should only keep information as long as it is needed, so it’s worth reviewing your PARQs from time to time, and shredding any for people who no longer run with you.

LEARN TO RUN, or WALK FOR FITNESS with JOGSCOTLAND! jogscotland.org.uk/learn-to-run-or-walk-for-fitness/
Today, we’ve opened up our full Learn to Run and Walk for Fitness programmes to everyone! PLEASE SHARE TO SPREAD THE WORD! These programmes are especially suitable for people who have been inactive for a while, or want a steady, achievable progression to better physical and mental wellbeing. If you choose our Learn to Run programme, you’ll start with just 30 seconds of jogging at a time, then a walk break, building up steadily each week until you’re up and running. Our Walk for Fitness programme gives a purpose to your daily walk, alternating between brisk, energetic walks and more relaxed strolling.
Both are now available online, or you can join us every MON, WED, FRI FROM 6 APRIL, on facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where we’ll be posting the session for the day. Do it on the days we post, or in your own time, then join the community by adding a photo or comment to let us know how it went – use the hashtag #jogscotlandActive on Twitter and Insta.
Staying active, in accordance with Government guidelines, is so important for us all during this challenging time – we’re delighted to do our bit, with the support of our partner SAMH. ...
