Founded by Olympic legend Daley Thompson CBE and former record-breaking GB athlete and TV Gladiator ‘Zodiac’ Kate Staples MBE, our Speedy Runners Athletics & Running Club is a fun, dynamic, and energetic club designed to boost children’s fitness, speed, agility, coordination, and love of athletics. Sessions combine skill-building, games, and teamwork in an exciting environment that encourages children to get active and enjoy sport.

The club provides a safe, supervised environment where children learn essential movement skills through age-appropriate activities. Sessions focus on developing physical literacy, confidence, and wellbeing, making it a perfect after-school option.

Coaching Team:

Kathryn Scott – Level 2 Athletics Endurance Coach

Ava Warren – Level 1 England Athletics Coach in training

Kate Staples – Level 2 Speed Coach, Level 4 Strength & Conditioning Coach, Level 3 Personal Trainer. Kate oversees the club and supports children who want to progress.

After one term, children can try out for the Walton Academy at Walton Xcel track to join competitive sessions.

The club works closely with our academy on the track at Walton Xcel Sports Park, giving children opportunities to develop their skills, enjoy athletics, and take the next step into competitions in a supportive and motivating environment.
