Become a Run Leader
Lead the Run. Bring the Energy. Inspire Others.
Love running and encouraging others? Become a Runspire Run Leader and help create sessions where people can move, laugh, build confidence and feel like they belong.
This isn't about being the fastest. It’s about creating a brilliant experience where there’s no pressure and no one gets left behind.
What You’ll Do 👟
- 👋 Welcome everyone and set a friendly, positive tone.
- 🏃 Lead fun, inclusive running sessions for different abilities and confidence levels.
- 💙 Encourage without pressure, giving people genuine choices around pace and distance.
- 🤝 Work with Run Buddies and volunteers to keep the whole group supported.
- 🙌 Celebrate progress — whether that's someone's first run or another 5K.
- 😊 Bring the Runspire spirit and make sessions somewhere people look forward to coming back to.
Our Run Leaders also take responsibility for planning appropriate routes, briefings, regrouping, participant welfare and making sure everyone is accounted for.
Training & Support 🎓
New to leading? We’ll help you get there!
You’ll receive Runspire onboarding training, ongoing support and opportunities to develop your skills. The appropriate current run-lead qualification is required where needed for the session, programme, insurer or governing body.
You’ll Be Great at This If…
You’re friendly, reliable, encouraging and confident bringing people together. You understand that a great Run Leader isn't necessarily at the front — they're making sure everyone has a great experience.
