Feedback from parents

Read reviews and feedback about Kids Fun Run from our parents! 

My son has been part of Jamie’s Kids Fun Run group for a year. During this time, both his love of running and his confidence have grown and grown. Jamie is funny, enthusiastic, kind and considerate and makes his sessions so much fun, with varied games and activities each week. Jamie is extremely talented at working with young children, his classes are inclusive, and he has a real skill for encouraging children at all levels, to boost their abilities and confidence. Jamie’s focus is on having fun, but my son has learned important skills and has entered and enjoyed several competitive and fun running events. I would highly recommend Jamie’s coaching and classes!

"Amazing, super, so much fun!" Charlotte, age 8. My daughter has absolutely loved her afternoons with Jamie’s Fun Run Club. It’s been a fantastic way for her to burn off extra energy after school, enjoy adventures around the local area, and most importantly – have loads of fun! It’s definitely the highlight of her week. Thank you, Jamie!

My son absolutely loves Jamie’s fun run club. It’s so well run and a brilliant way to get the children active and engaged after school. Jamie is a highly qualified professional and it really shows. It’s hard to find other clubs with this high level of coaching and engagement at this price.

Our boys love the fun run club – it is a favourite activity in the week; and both have now taken part in parkruns and Edinburgh Running Festival. It’s great as parents to see them out and active and I’m delighted they have found a love of running!

My six year old can be usure about new experiences and taking part in clubs, going to parties on her own etc, but she happily went to a full week of Kids Fun Run holiday camps, asking to go back each day. She loved the friendly, fun and inclusive atmosphere. Jamie and the young leaders are full of enthusiasm, energy and encouragement. They have such a warm and welcoming manner with the wee ones. The activities and locations are well planned, varied and make the club exciting and fresh each week. This is such a lovely way to introduce the children to the fun and benefits of running - all through engaging play, games and opportunities to explore the local area.

My daughter has absolutely loved being part of Jamie’s Fun Run club! Every week, she looks forward to her class – not just for the running, but for the fun and friendly environment. It’s been a fantastic way for her to stay active, and we’ve noticed a bit boost in her running confidence since joining. The coaches are encouraging and really know how to engage the kids, making fitness fun rather than a chore. She’s made new friends, developed a love for running and since joining she has taken part in multiple races which she has never done before. I would highly recommend this club for parents looking for a positive, energetic, and supportive space for their kids to grow physically and socially.

Our daughter has loved the running club at Cramond from the first day. It has motivated and inspired her to sign up for a 5k – brilliant!

My son has been attending the Kids Fun Run club for the past few months and is really enjoying it! Jamie has managed to create a lovely balance of motivation and encouragement to improve, whist making running fun and enjoyable. My son enjoys the variety each week, which is helped by being outdoors. Jamie is always really organised and helpful with nothing being too much bother. Definitely one of our favourte weekly activities!

Max has thoroughly enjoyed being part of Jamie’s after school fun run club. Jamie is great at keeping Max and the group running and playing for longer that I could get him to run! He always comes home excited to tell me where they have been and has the best night’s sleep after. The perfect class to let off some steam after school!

My sons aged five and seven have enjoyed Jamie's Kids Fun Run groups over the past year. They have loved the energy and positivity Jamie brings to each session. Both have grown in fitness and confidence as a result, and always look forward to their 'best part of the week!'
