The Daily Mile is not PE, cross-country or sport. It is physical, emotional, social and contributes to positive mental health and wellbeing.

What is The Daily Mile?

The children jog or run with their classmates in the safety of their school environment. Everyone has fun taking part - it is not P.E. nor is it competitive - while building relationships, confidence and resilience. This can be summed up in our 'Five F's':

Fitness - children become more aware of a healthy lifestyle

Fresh Air - children thrive on the sights, sounds and seasons

Friends- children use the language of friendship to support each other, improving their social and leadership skills

Fun - children enjoy taking part - this is what makes The Daily Mile so successful

Focus - daily physical activity helps children concentrate in the classroom and is proven to raise attainment

If your child is doing The Daily Mile at school you can support this at home, by both encouraging their confidence in running and moving outside with them out of school hours. Parents say that The Daily Mile helps children to eat and sleep better and that often they become young ambassadors for whole family fitness!

If you would like your child's school to consider doing The Daily Mile, we encourage you to reach out to them! We can provide the help and support to get the school/s started and are always excited to bring more schools into our global Daily Mile community. Please see below a resource we've created that may assist you in approaching your child's school about starting The Daily Mile.

If you have a question that wasn't answered on this page, and isn't on our FAQ's, then please Contact Us.
