Yearly Archives: 2020

On Wednesday 6th May 2020, we held our first celebration of #GORunForFun day!

We asked you all to run or get active in PINK together to celebrate old times and feel connected whilst apart.

We were delighted to receive over 100 entries with a HUGE total of 158 of you all getting active in PINK together!!

From all of us here at GO Run For Fun, we’d just like to say THANK YOU to everyone who took part and really made the day so special. It reminded us of the enjoyment of exercising together, whilst maintaining safety as a priority.

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
