Friendship Run Week 2022

This is a FOR ALL event aimed at those least active children but open to all children in KS1 and KS2 to take part. The aim of this event is to foster social connections and promote enjoyment. The event will take place in your own school.

The Friendship Run will take place from Monday 17th – Friday 21st October and is open to all children in Key Stages 1, 2 & 3.

Children love being outside with their friends, so the idea of the Friendship Run is to give them extra motivation to be active by encouraging them to take on a running challenge with friends.

There is a challenge that’s just right for everyone whether you want to take part as a whole school, a class or even ask children to set themselves an individual challenge or a challenge with friends for the week.

Every school is different with many already doing the Daily Mile and some with established running tracks so it’s up to you to decide how to get involved in the Friendship Run Week but we hope most schools make it a whole school event with all staff and pupils getting on board.

The idea of the Friendship Run is that children and young people take on one or more of the personal challenges throughout the week with the focus on FRIENDSHIP, FUN & WELLBEING with an element of competition thrown in for those that want it. If you are unable to run you can walk, scoot, roll or pedal.
