Meet the Bury, Ely, Swaffham and Thetford Team

MEET THE PEOPLE BEHIND MINI ATHLETICS BEST!

Hello! We are James & Farrah Owens, a married couple with two awesome daughters aged 14 & 8. We live on the Norfolk / Suffolk border in Thetford Forest.

Mini Athletics BEST (Bury, Ely, Swaffham and Thetford) is our exciting family adventure that finally released James from his corporate desk which he had been working at for 20 years! Our daughter was invited to a Mini Athletics UK birthday party and we all loved it – so we decided to have a massive career change and bring the amazing classes to our local area.

James has a passion for keeping fit and leads our classes, hoping to inspire lots of little ones with a similar passion for being active while having fun.

We hope to meet you in a class very soon.
