We have accessed funding through the London Marathon Events to train a 5th group of school staff members in schools across England as Run Leaders with England Athletics. This cohort will start the virtual course in late 2025 that will give you the knowledge and confidence to provide a safe and enjoyable running experience for young people aged 12+ and adults of any ability.
For more information on the Leadership in Running Fitness course, including a breakdown of the qualification, please click here.
Our aims for this project are:
- To engage as many staff members, community members and children in the activity of running as possible.
- Create as club that promotes both physical and mental wellbeing,
- Support people in building activity into their lives in a fun and social way.
- To start a running movement within your school community that is both sustainable and measurable.
- For schools to engage in national events such as the Mini London Marathon, The Daily Mile and promote local events like Parkrun and Junior Parkrun.
In order to apply for one of these spaces, please follow the link below and complete the questionnaire.
We will inform you as soon as possible if you have been successful. Please note in these early rounds of funding we will be prioritizing schools who already have some sort of formal or informal fitness/running group active that TRC can support to streamline and grow. We will then use later funding to take successful models and set them up in brand new schools.
