England Athletics LiRF / CiRF

About the EA LiRF Qualification

If you’re just starting out as a run leader, the Leadership in Running Fitness
qualification is the course for you. You will learn essential health and safety for
leading a group run, how to structure running sessions appropriate to the level of your runners (including warm-ups, cool-downs and stretches), and how to plan suitable routes.

There is no exam or assessment, completion of the course qualifies,
insures and equips you to lead groups of adults in running activities taking place away from the club premises within the limits of the course content.
