Ready, Set…Tiny Changes!

Craig Hannigan is one of the co-organisers of Good Time Running Club. After the passing of his dad in 2018, Craig alongside co-organiser Oliver Gardiner, started the Edinburgh based running club to overcome feelings of sadness. Their hope was to turn those feelings of sadness into something positive, not only for himself, but for others too.

In May, Craig, Oliver and good friend Ryan (who has provided lots of running motivation over the past couple of years) ran the Edinburgh half marathon for Tiny Changes.

They were really pleased with their times and so far they’ve raised an incredible £2,102 to help young minds feel better!

Thank you Craig for sharing your tiny change maker story.

Did you know? Running can reduce stress, depression, and anxiety. It can also improve your sleep habits. Running outside has other benefits like lower feelings of loneliness and isolation.

If you are in (or around) Edinburgh and would like to join the running club, the group meets up at 6pm on the last Friday of the month at the Portobello Tap. You can go at whatever pace you like – walkers are welcome too. There’s a mid-week run which alternates between locations, and you can keep an eye on that by following the club on Instagram and Twitter.

“Tiny Changes is an important charity to me as it carries out really important work offering mental health support to people from a very young age. It’s something I feel would have been really beneficial growing up.”
