Coaches & Run Leaders

Our Coaches, Run Leaders and Run Leader Supports all play a vital role in making Tiptree Road Runners a welcoming, supportive and enjoyable club for everyone.

Our Coaches and Run Leaders are all England Athletics qualified – either as a Coach in Running Fitness (CiRF) or a Leader in Running Fitness (LiRF) – and lead sessions that are safe, well-structured and inclusive.

Our Run Leader Supports are experienced club members who assist our qualified leaders on training nights, helping sessions run smoothly, supporting members and ensuring no one is left behind.

To get in touch with any of our Coaches or Run Leaders, please use the Contact Us page and we’ll make sure your message reaches the right person.
