We’re excited to invite you to our next Leader Development Training Course — open to everyone, whether you’re looking to become a new leader, want to refresh your existing training, or are simply curious about what the role involves.

As a charity, we rely on the generosity and enthusiasm of our amazing volunteers. Becoming a leader is a wonderful way to give back, support our community, and help others enjoy the benefits of moving together. And don’t worry — you don’t need to be the strongest or fastest runner/walker to take part. In fact, leaders for our shorter-distance groups (1–3 miles) are especially valuable, and you don’t need to be able to run (or walk) all the distances we offer.

This course is designed to be friendly, supportive, and welcoming, whether you’re brand new or returning for a refresher. After training, you’ll have plenty of guidance and ongoing support, so you’ll never feel you’re doing it alone.

Who is the course for?

• Anyone interested in leading Run, Walk or Nordic Walking sessions

• Existing leaders for essential update or refresher

• People who are simply thinking about becoming a leader and want to learn more

Why become a leader?

• Make a positive difference in people’s lives

• Help keep our charity’s activities thriving

• Build confidence, learn new skills, and be part of a supportive team

• Contribute in a meaningful way — no matter your pace or distance

If you’ve ever thought “Maybe I could do that…” — this is the perfect chance to give it a try in a relaxed, encouraging environment.  Thank you for considering supporting us in this vital role. Together, we keep our community moving!
