School Holidays Kids Trail Running Events

Trail Kids School Holidays events are designed to give young people some quality time to work on their trail running skills and fitness whilst developing new friendships, building a connection to nature and the wider world and most importantly gaining confidence and self belief. 

Trail Kids school holidays events can range from half day clinics to a 3 day camp offering fun and active trail running sessions. These sessions will build progressively as young runners build confidence and skills.

Events will include the following:
Activities
  • Agility activities, e.g. obstacle courses
  • Balancing activities, e.g. slacklining
  • Running technique activities eg team games
  • Strength and fitness exercises 
  • Trail Running skills; reading the trail, rock hopping and manoeuvring over variable and uneven terrain
  • Passive teamwork games/challenges and bush arts and craft activities
  • Yoga & Stretching
  • Australian bush themed story reading time
  • Discussions and guidance on healthy eating to support an active young body
Ages and Required Fitness Levels
Brendan and Jo are both qualified and experienced teachers and provide age appropriate content and activities for all children from 4 -14y and deliver these through age based groupings on the day.
