Mighty Milers

In as little as 15 minutes a day, Mighty Milers gives kids the opportunity and encouragement to get moving, release energy, improve their fitness and health, set and strive for individual goals, and bond with their schoolmates.

Mighty Milers gives teachers the support they need to motivate kids.

Exercise helps the kids. NYRR helps the teacher.

NYRR provides incentives and instruction to make Mighty Milers easy to integrate into daily school life. Kids of all fitness levels and abilities learn to walk or run a half-mile, two to five times a week. Students set goals and the online database makes it easy to record and tally the total distance each student accumulates. When students reach milestones, they earn incentives provided by our programs. [More]

Mighty Milers is free to qualifying schools and community centers.

Tens of thousands of schools in the U.S. qualify.

Teachers, principals, and administrators can complete a short online application and learn immediately if they qualify for a free Mighty Milers program. Schools that don’t qualify for the free program can still apply, but would be required to pay a fee if they were accepted. All schools that are accepted will receive everything they need to implement a program, including access to the Mighty Milers online database. [Apply]
