Children as young as 2 years old are now taking part in this quick, simple, and free initiative-for-schools. The Daily Mile is profoundly simple: children are encouraged to run or jog for 15 minutes every day in their primary and nursery schools, from desk-to-desk. In this time, most children will average at least one mile distance.
There are now over 2,000+ schools taking part in the UK alone – and counting! For more information and to join our growing community of Daily Mile schools, visit: www.tdmdeprod.wpengine.com
