2022 GO Run For Fun becomes The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun with new logo
Exciting news! GO Run for Fun has joined The Daily Mile family! The Daily Mile wants to expand into events, it’s sister charity GO Run For Fun is a ready made event delivery series with same shared aim as The Daily Mile ‘to encourage children to get active, stay fit and enjoy exercise by moving outside’.
It made sense to unite the two brands to become The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun. By rebranding The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun, it will sit alongside Fit For Life & Mission Kids Fit For Life creating a complete set of initiatives which all have The Daily Mile principles and aims at their core. The Daily Mile GO Run For Fun will now be focused on creating fun and safe running events as a reward for being Daily Mile registered schools.
