​​​Why is running beneficial for children?

Running is a great activity for children of all ages. It offers a variety of physical and mental health benefits, including:

• ​Improved cardiovascular health. Running helps to strengthen the heart and lungs, which can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and other chronic health conditions later in life.
• Stronger bones and muscles. Running helps to build bone density and muscle mass, which can help to prevent injuries and keep kids active throughout their lives.
• Improved mood and mental health. Running can help to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also boost self-esteem and confidence.
• Improved sleep. Running can help kids to sleep better at night.
• Cognitive benefits. Running can help to improve cognitive function, including memory, concentration, and decision-making.
• Social benefits. Running can be a great way for kids to socialise and make friends. It can also be a fun way to explore the outdoors.​
