Schools and nurseries now taking part!
Our Ambassador, Eliud Kipchoge
Eliud Kipchoge is the world’s fastest marathon runner! The Kenyan champion holds the world record for running the 26.2 mile Marathon in Berlin, in just 2:01:39!
We’re excited that Eliud is working with The Daily Mile to get even more schools and nurseries signed up around the world. Like Eliud, The Daily Mile Foundation believes “No Human Is Limited” and wants to ensure every child has the opportunity to run every day, and enjoy being active outside.
In October, Eliud will be taking on a superhuman challenge in Vienna – He is aiming to be the first person ever to run a marathon in under two hours.

What is The Daily Mile?
The Daily Mile is simple and free and gets children out of the classroom for fifteen minutes every day to run or jog, at their own pace, with their classmates, making them fitter, healthier, and more able to concentrate in the classroom.

-
We know that the positive experiences we have at a young age shape habits for life - which is why it's so key to help young children enjoy getting active daily. Running is the simplest, most natural exercise you can do, it's fun and social, and it helps to teach the basics of a healthy lifestyle. As childhoods become more sedentary than ever, we're proud that the GO Run for Fun and The Daily Mile initiatives have helped over 2 million children get up and running since 2013 - and are inspiring their families, too.
Jim Ratcliffe, Founder and Chairman of INEOS -
The Daily Mile has already proved a great success for the schools that are taking part with a hugely positive impact on children’s health and wellbeing. ITV wants to use the power of TV and the reach of our programming to change attitudes and behaviours towards living more healthily. We are aiming to get the whole country engaged with this initiative and every UK primary school taking part.
Carolyn McCall, Chief Executive of ITV
