James Thomas

Health and Wellbeing Manager

parkrun
James has spent the last 10 years working in the charity, sport and physical activity sector. This has focused on people who can benefit the most from opportunities to get active, especially young people.
This started by working in prisons and young offenders as a Sport and Enrichment Coordinator. This includes working with Sporting Governing Bodies, local sports clubs and art charities among others to give people opportunities in prison and through the gate. It was clear that taking part in physical activity could have a truly transformational impact on the lives of young people.


James now works for parkrun as their UK Health and Wellbeing Manager and leads their junior parkrun work including a project supported by The London Marathon Foundation to grow and diversity participation. Currently junior parkrun delivers over 450 free weekly 2k events in the UK which sees an average of 20,000 children and young people take part every Sunday. James has a passion for sharing the positive impact physical activity can have especially with those who may benefit the most.
