Jog leaders

Our jog leaders are the lifeblood of jogscotland. Our army of fully-trained, enthusiastic and patient jog leaders have inspired thousands of people across the country to embrace a healthier and more active lifestyle through running.

If you have bags of energy and enthusiasm and want to help, make a difference to the health of the nation then we need you! To become a jog leader, you will need to complete online course modules and attend a three hour practical session which covers everything you need to know, from the warm up to the cool down. Courses are held regularly across the country, and the fee is £130.00. Jog leader licence requirements include mandatory requirements in safeguarding and first aid and a self-declaration submission.
