Want to do something worthwhile whilst getting fit and having fun?


Why not be a jogscotland jog leader?


To become a fully qualified jogscotland leader you must attend the one day jog leaders training course.

The course is divided into theory and practical sessions, which will enable you with the knowledge and skill to lead groups of walkers and / or joggers. The classroom based sessions involve presentations, interactive group exercises, discussions and feedback while the practical ones look at leading beginners and mixed ability jogging groups.

The course is taking place here in Balloch, West Dunbartonshire
