METNS are getting fit with the Daily Mile, we hope that our Daily Mile will improve the physical, emotional and social health and wellbeing of all children – regardless of age or personal circumstances.
“The Daily Mile” is successful because it is simple and free:
- It takes place over just 15 minutes, with children averaging a mile each day
- Children run outside in the fresh air – and the weather is a benefit, not a barrier
- There’s no set up, tidy up, or equipment required
- Children run in their regular clothes so no kit or changing time is needed
- It’s social, non-competitive and fun
- It’s fully inclusive, every child succeeds, whatever their circumstances, age or ability.
