Kids Zone
England Athletics and the funetics Activation Zone are back at the National Running Show for the second year in a row!
funetics, created by England Athletics, is designed to help children aged 4–11 across the country learn, develop, and practice essential running, jumping, and throwing skills all year round—building the foundations for a healthy, confident future.
Our interactive, fully inclusive, and fun-packed ‘Have a Go’ Zone invites children to explore Run, Jump, and Throw activities through the power of play.
New for 2026: We’re introducing the funetics Multi-Challenge! Kids can put their skills to the test with speed bounce, standing long jump, triple jump, and bean bag throw. They’ll have the chance to challenge their personal best, climb our leaderboard, win prizes, and keep improving their scores throughout the day.
The best part? It’s completely free! Families can visit as many times as they like—so come and join the fun!
