Running trackS suitable for The Daily Mile™

The Daily Mile is a worldwide initiative which aims to get children out of the classroom for 15 minutes every day to run or jog, at their own pace, in the fresh air with friends.

Running tracks suitable for The Daily Mile can be made by creating a route into an existing playground. However, many schools with little usable space have invested in an all-weather, purpose-built track, installed over existing grass surfaces.

Both products can be installed directly onto grass or compacted soil. Each surface is porous and can be laid to a bespoke design in order to create laps, swirls or loops. Rubber Mulch and Rubber-Gravel Mix surfaces are highly durable, meet existing anti-slip regulations, and will hold firm under heavy footfall.

* It is not mandatory for schools to invest in a running track in order to participate in The Daily Mile.

    Since 2012 the Daily Mile initiative has been growing throughout schools across the UK. Each year, schools are installing an easy way for children to take part in their mile a day fitness activity.

    St. Paul’s CE Primary School used part of their Government Sports Funding to join the Daily Mile initiative by installing a 160lm X 1.5m all-weather pathway around the school field.
