The Daily Mile is a social physical activity, with children running, jogging or wheeling– at their own pace – in the fresh air with friends. Children can occasionally walk to catch their breath, if necessary, but should aim to run, jog or wheel for the full 15 minutes. We want every child to have the opportunity to do The Daily Mile at primary school and are now working to build The Daily Mile’s community with schools, local councils, sports bodies and other supporters in the UK and beyond.
The Daily Mile was established in 2012 and now reaches over 4 million children across 89 countries around the world. The success of The Daily Mile is thanks to the children, teachers, schools and partners that champion our ideals. They share our ambition to see every child enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity.
There is a strong commitment from the Daily Mile to ensure inclusivity and accessibility irrespective of
ability and to ensure children and young people with a disability are provide the opportunity to participate in The Daily Mile. Together with partners we have created the Inclusion Model video that can be a useful guide for Teachers, Leaders and Support staff to include participants with disabilities in the Daily Mile.
