The final installment in The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun 2023 Autumn Series took place on Thursday 20^th October in France.

Lavera, Marseille played host to not only 2500 children from 18 schools, but some unusually mild weather, with temperatures reaching 21 degrees.
One of the hallmark events of the year, the day saw children take part in a 2 km run as well as fun workshops on vortex throwing, long jump and health and well being.

During the lunch break a special guest, Monseigneur Christian Delarbre who gave a brief address to the children and staff before the start of the afternoon session.
The Local Athletics club (Althetic club de Miramas) provided some brilliant demonstrations of hurdles and long jump for the children with the local athletes showing off their skills.

With such a great event rounding off this year’s The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun Events, it will be hard to top them in 2023, we will do our very best though!

Friday 7^th October was a brilliant day for The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun with two events happening on the same day, 6565 miles apart.

In Europe, Belgium saw the return of the well established The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun event in Feluy. The event that has hosted events previously in 2018 and 2019 returned for a third installment!

Hosted at the Stade du Tivoli in La Louvière, with over 2000 children from nearly 20 schools in attendance, the INEOS volunteers hosted two fun runs across the day, accompanied, of course by Dart!
Both runs were a success and thoroughly enjoyed by both the children and teaching staff. Dart even got involved and helped start the runs off before being left behind by the children and deciding to clap in the finishers.

Across the globe in Singapore, another established The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun event went off without a hitch. The run was completed by 200 children who then were surprised by a brilliant funfair which they thoroughly enjoyed (although it could be said teachers may be enjoyed this even more).

This was undoubtedly a great day for The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun as well as for all those involved.
With the end of the year drawing closer we are hoping for more days like this in 2023.

On Friday 9^th September 2022, Sweden kicked off The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun 2022 Autumn series. The event was held in Stenungsund and was the first ever event held by the initiative in Sweden with 700 children from 6 schools in attendance.

Children and teachers enjoyed a brilliant Friday morning completing the 2 km route in the brilliant woodland trail of the Stenungsund Arena.

The event went off without a hitch and was such as success, that the INEOS staff at the Stenungsund site are already in talks about hosting another event in 2023!

We certainly are looking forward to another Swedish success in 2023, until then its fair to say that the Stenungsund event is a brilliant addition to The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun calendar.

In light of recent travel restrictions and closures, it’s important to remember the ways in which we can CONNECT!

Now more than ever, we don’t want our schools to feel isolated within our global community or reluctant to get up and active! Childhood is a time to make friends, keep healthy & active and have FUN at school!

We’re offering the opportunity for schools to share their experiences internationally with another school by signing up to our Global Buddying programme.

‘Buddying’ provides an opportunity for your school to work collaboratively with a school from another part of the world, helping pupils to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the world they live in, whilst sharing and celebrating their experiences. Your school can use this to support the curriculum too, with opportunities to develop geographical, environmental, well-being and language knowledge.

For Spring 2020 ONLY, the first ten schools to submit their resources for our Buddying programme receive a GO Run For Fun, EVENT IN A BOX!

The box provides everything your school or class will need to host their very own in-school GO Run For Fun event, at a time that best suits you. This includes an easy-to-follow guide, a T-shirt for each child running, and exciting event day resources. 

Teachers, feel free to join our GO Run For Fun Facebook Buddying group to share your experiences, or to learn more about how other schools all over the world are enjoying it!

WE LOVE TO SEE stories such as this, learning that one of our GO Run For Fun participants from previous years (race number #69) has recently went on to complete an internship with INEOS Cologne Communications department! 

Their two week internship taught them about different aspects of our company in the INEOS Cologne Communications department, where he told colleagues he knew INEOS from taking part at this GO Run For Fun event in Pulheim with Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium.

Schools such as Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium are preparing young people for a future in work by inspiring them with real life experiences, as GO Run For Fun aims to inspire children to be more healthy and active.

Since it’s establishment in 2013, it’s fantastic to see children growing and getting active across the INEOS family, as a reminder of the impact getting your children active and involved with GO Run For Fun from such a young age.

We are always happy to hear stories such as this, and feedback from your event experiences. If you have anything you’d like to share, please feel free to get in touch via info@www.thedailymileevents.com
