What is The Daily Mile?
The Daily Mile is simple and free and gets children out of the classroom for fifteen minutes every day to run or jog, at their own pace, with their classmates, making them fitter, healthier, and more able to concentrate in the classroom.

A Word from Elaine
The physical and mental health of our children continues to be of real concern. The problems have crept up on us and are now so serious that immediate action is needed.
The introduction of The Daily Mile for every child in thousands of schools and nurseries is now building a coherent national approach to the problem at grassroots level.
Let’s not hesitate. We should make The Daily Mile part of every childhood and watch as it improves our children’s health and wellbeing now and for the rest of their lives.

-
INEOS has been supporting The Daily Mile for the last three years. We know how important it is to encourage children to get fit and healthy and look after themselves, not just for today but for the years to come.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Founder and Chairman of INEOS -
"Our communities need inclusive, low-cost and fun initiatives like The Daily Mile to combat the epidemic of physical inactivity. As a physician and a father, I know that children benefit physically, socially, and emotionally from exercise. The Daily Mile helps get kids physically active now and stay active in the future."
Sam R. Browd, MD, PhD, Director of The Sports Institute at UW Medicine -
"I see the need to get kids moving. I see the value of exercise in kids lives. Students are healthier emotionally, socially, and physically when they get moving, and I want to see how just 15 minutes can change a life."
Anne Gregerson, 2nd Grade Teacher; Edmonds, WA
