Parents and Carers
The Daily Mile is a social activity wherein children run or jog, at their own pace, for 15 minutes every day during school hours with their classmates. Everyone has fun taking part – it is not P.E. nor is it competitive – while building relationships, confidence and resilience.

How can I get involved if my child is doing The Daily Mile at school?
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 often 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’d like to also participate in The Daily Mile, you can sign up to our adults initiative.
What if my child’s school is not doing The Daily Mile, yet?
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.
If you’re not sure whether your child’s school is already doing The Daily Mile, you can check our global Participation Map.
