YOUNGSTERS, school staff and parents are being urged to get ready to race up their running shoes and save the date for Coventry’s annual Children’s Mile on June 22.
Held at War Memorial Park, it provides an exciting opportunity to get active and enjoy the outdoors.
The fully accessible one-mile route encourages participation from primary school students, teachers, staff and parents from across Coventry.
Coun Kamran Caan, Coventry City Council’s Cabinet Member for Public Health and Sport, said: “It’s wonderful to hear that the Children’s Mile is returning this summer.
“This event is open to all young people across the city.”
Whether you walk, run or jog the route, each participant will receive a commemorative T-shirt and a certificate to celebrate their achievement.
Coventry’s School Games Organisers, Danny Kingham and Stuart Davoile, said: “We’re incredibly excited for this year’s Children’s Mile. “Our goal is to have more schools than ever participate in this fantastic initiative.”
The Children’s Mile brings schools, families and the local community together showcasing the importance of staying active and healthy habits.
Coun Caan added: “I’m excited to see as many schools as possible participating in this year’s mile and helping to inspire a love for physical activity as we prepare for yet another fantastic summer of sport in Coventry.”
Entry information and registration will be available after the February half-term.
