A Fun Introduction to Run, Jump, Throw

We’re delighted to launch Athletix, a brand-new recreational athletics programme designed especially for children aged 4–12 who are new to the sport or who want to enjoy athletics in a fun, relaxed environment.

Athletix introduces children to the fundamentals of movement — running, jumping and throwing — through exciting games, creative challenges and confidence-building activities.

Children progress at their own pace through three stages:

• Starting Blocs (Ages 4–7)

• Challenger (Ages 7–10)

• NextGen (Ages 10–12)

Our first Athletix providers, including established athletics clubs, running groups and local authority sport development teams, will begin delivering sessions from April 2026, with more venues launching later in the year.
