The Daily Mile is a physical activity initiative designed for kids by kids. The idea is simple. Kids go outside with their parents or teachers to run, jog, walk, or roll for 15 minutes each day. Over three million children worldwide are benefiting from The Daily Mile. Our goal is to see The Daily Mile in every elementary school, daycare, preschool, and homeschool in America so our nation’s kids stay active and healthy! Try The Daily Mile with just one class and experience the benefits. Watch it grow to the whole school!
