Why Schools Love The Daily Mile
The Daily Mile is more than just movement, it’s fun, inclusive, and proven to make a difference. Here’s why schools and nurseries around the world are making it part of their day:
It's Fun

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 Simple
