Junior Norwich Road Runners
The Norwich Road Runners have a junior branch of the club, providing coaching and training to children aged 7 to 16 in a safe and supervised environment. Currently we have more than 65 junior Norwich Road Runners who attend sessions at the club. We offer a fantastic environment in which children interested in running can train safely, to a programme of exercise designed for developing children, can socialise, encourage each other, and build a real community of sportsmanship (and fun!).
All sessions are lead by a qualified instructor who specialises in junior coaching and athletic development, with help from club members who have undertaken the Leadership in Running Fitness award - all of whom have been DBS checked.
