Active Schools Running Clubs | Prestonpans
Running is continuing to grow in popularity as a sport, and we're delighted to have lots of opportunities to give running a go as we introduce more Active Schools Running Clubs across East Lothian. The Running Clubs will provide a great opportunity for children to improve their fitness, get outside, and get active before school, all while developing key running skills. Participants will join their friends in fun and energising running sessions, suitable for runners of all abilities.

Volunteers - We Need You!
We need your help! We’re looking for volunteers to support our volunteer teams in delivering the Running Clubs so we can continue to grow the clubs and offer more spaces.
Would you like to join the volunteer team for one of our Running Clubs?
Does your child attend one of the other local Prestonpans Primary cluster schools and would you like to help us introduce a Running Club?
All levels of experience are welcome and you don’t need to be a runner - you don’t even need to run! There are lots of ways you can help out during the sessions and support the Running Clubs. Please email ssands@elcschool.org.uk to find out more and to get involved.
