See Her Run have been awarded £4,970 in 2024 to deliver a targeted running initiative for teenage girls. The programme is expected to directly benefit around 75 participants through the award received by the SUPPORTIN SPORT Fund.
See Her Run are a new running club who have been established to support and encourage females, principally young girls in school years 10-13, to get involved in running. This targeted initiative hopes to create an inclusive environment to support any female who aspires to run for 30 minutes (or more!) at any pace. The programme will be delivered twice weekly using outdoor spaces around the island. It aims to ensure the sustainability of the programme by empowering their participants to become running fitness leaders themselves and in time, lead runs for new participants. Funding from this award will also facilitate the development of an ‘Inclusion Fund’ to support participants who have financial barriers to accessing running, like membership fees or running kit, including trainers.
The See Her Run programme has grown rapidly, providing a safe space for teenage girls to be supported on their running journey. The group have been diversifying their running sessions with hill repeats, pyramid sessions and even took part in the recent Big Maggies Night Lights Treasure Run around St Helier.
See Her Run are looking for young volunteers to sustain their offer and will be supporting these individuals with upskilling in UK Athletics Run Leader qualifications.
