The Daily Mile is a global initiative designed to help children get active by running or jogging for 15 minutes each day, at their own pace, in the fresh air with friends. Schools can create a Daily Mile route within existing playgrounds, or where space is limited, invest in an all-weather, purpose-built track installed over existing grass. Both Rubber Mulch and Rubber-Gravel Mix surfaces provide durable, porous solutions that meet anti-slip regulations and remain stable under heavy footfall. Tracks can be laid directly onto grass or compacted soil and customised to form laps, loops, or creative patterns that inspire movement and fun. Note: Schools are not required to install a dedicated running track to participate in The Daily Mile initiative.
DCM Surfaces recommends using two products which require very little groundworks, making them suitable for The Daily Mile; Rubber Mulch and Rubber-Gravel Mix.
