Team GB powers up Olympic Day with The Daily Mile takeover
Team GB and The Daily Mile launch Olympic Daily Mile to get schools across the UK moving in celebration of Olympic Day.
In an energetic new partnership, Team GB has joined forces with The Daily Mile to launch a nationwide school celebration for Olympic Day – and it’s set to get every child moving. The Olympic Daily Mile, blends physical activity with Olympic inspiration to instil the values of excellence, friendship and respect in young people across the UK.
This year’s Olympic Day activities are supercharged with specially designed resources including a downloadable assembly presentation and a set of Olympic Mile Markers to transform schools' regular Daily Mile into a vibrant, sports-themed experience. Along the course, five Olympic Mile Markers invite pupils to embody different sports:
1. The Swimmer – glide like your favourite stroke
2. The Bounder – hop, skip or bounce ahead
3. The Baller – strike your best ball moves
4. The Bolt – sprint for gold
5. The Olympian Victory Pose – finish with flair and pride
Many schools will be visited by Team GB athletes, who will guide the Olympic Moves during the assembly, answer pupil questions, and cheer them on during The Olympic Daily Mile.
To amplify the fun, schools are encouraged to post photos of their Olympic Daily Mile with the hashtag #GetSetOlympicDay for a chance to win exclusive prizes.
Whether hosting an athlete or running the event solo, this vibrant celebration promises to energise school communities and spark Olympic dreams — one step at a time.
