Sign-up for Jog Leader courses

Start 2026 by taking a jog leader course and yearn to learn !

Our fun, inspiring course, called Leadership in Running Fitness, is all you need to become a jog leader by setting up your own group, or by helping at an existing group.

It is available via blended learning, with four online modules and a half day practical session.

As 2026 starts, there are opportunities coming up in Glasgow, Grangemouth, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, Stirling and Dunfermline

You don’t need to be super-fit to become a jog leader – some of the best leaders are people who were recently beginners themselves and so have real empathy with others who are just starting to get active. The best qualities you can possess are to be enthusiastic, approachable and encouraging to others.

Once you have passed the course and received your Jog Leader licence card from scottishathletics:

• You will be able to set up your own jogging group using the jogscotland name
• Your group will be advertised on our Group Finder
• Your sessions will be covered by our insurance if you complete the jogscotland group affiliation process
• You can contact our team at jogscotland HQ any time for help and advice
• Affilaited groups/leaders will have access to the jogscotland jog leader group on facebook, where you can receive advice, support and friendship from other leaders.
• You will receive access to useful online resources.
