Why Schools Love The Daily Mile
It's Fun
Children love it! They run, wheel, or walk outdoors with friends, moving at their own pace in a way that feels natural. The non-competitive nature means every child succeeds, and the social aspect helps relationships flourish.
It's Simple + Free
No equipment. No prep. No changing into kit. Just 15 minutes, at least three times a week, at a time that suits the class. Works in almost any weather the children make sure of that, just like they do at playtime! No cost, no catch.
It's Inclusive
Every child takes part – regardless of age, ability, or circumstances. The Daily Mile creates a shared experience where everyone feels that they belong.
It's Proven
