In Jan 2024 we teamed up with Active School Flag. In Feb 2024 ASF announced the launch of its ‘Run Around Europe’ challenge which is a whole-school running challenge open to all primary and special schools nationwide during the month of March 2024.

All classes, at all class levels are challenged to build a ‘Run a Day’ into their daily routines across the 4 weeks of the challenge.
