Frame running (formerly race running) originated in Denmark in the 1990’s. It is an athletics event in which individuals with impaired mobility can walk or run using a special running frame called a racerunner. The running frame is a three-wheeled frame with handlebars, a chest support and a saddle but no pedals. Those taking part in frame running range from children to adults, and they train for track events from a 60m sprint up to a 1500m distance event.
Aberdeen Amateur Athletic Club are looking for volunteers to help with this training group, Mondays 4.30-5.30pm at Aberdeen Sports Village. No prior knowledge of coaching is necessary as the club will offer training and mentoring support. You would provide one-to-one support and encouragement to athletes and help deliver the training programme developed by the lead coach. Knowledge of basic bike maintenance would be useful and a PVG from Disclosure Scotland is required.
Email Ruth at Pathways@AberdeenAAC.co.uk to volunteer or get more information.
