Daily Mile Track Installation for School Playground

WHAT IS A DAILY MILE TRACK?

The Daily Mile encourages pupils to run or walk for 15 minutes each day, helping to improve fitness, focus, and wellbeing. Our artificial grass Daily Mile Tracks make it easy for schools to join the initiative with safe, all-weather routes that work in any setting.

  • Purpose-Built for Schools: Designed for playgrounds, fields, and outdoor learning spaces.
  • All-Weather, All-Year: Fully porous turf drains quickly and stays slip-resistant — even after rain.
  • Soft & Safe Underfoot: Optional shock-pad layers provide CFH-rated cushioning.
  • Clean, Low-Maintenance Design: No mud, puddles, or repainting required.
  • Flexible Layouts: Loops, figure-eights, or connecting paths – built to fit your space and surface type.

HOW A DAILY MILE TRACK IS INSTALLED

Every installation is built for safety, speed, and long-term performance – from the base layers up. Whether it’s a school field or a concrete playground, we prepare, fit, and finish your Daily Mile Track with precision.

  • Site Survey & Planning: We assess your surface, map safe routes, and confirm measurements for The Daily Mile initiative.
  • Base Preparation: The area is levelled and compacted for smooth drainage and safety compliance.
  • Track Installation: Pre-made turf sections are laid, joined, and finished with inlaid lines and start/finish markings.
  • Optional Safety Layer: 25mm or 45mm shock pads add extra comfort and CFH compliance.

Our tracks also double as outdoor fitness or walking loops — perfect for PE lessons, warm-ups, and inclusive movement sessions that support The Daily Mile ethos.

WHY CHOOSE ARTIFICIAL GRASS OVER THERMOPLASTIC OR RUBBER TRACKS?

Unlike painted or thermoplastic markings, our artificial grass Daily Mile Tracks create a soft, cushioned route that feels natural underfoot and lasts for years. They combine the durability of sports turf with the safety of playground surfacing — without the cracking, fading, or repainting that comes with traditional options.

  • Safer & Softer: Built with CFH-tested shock pads for superior fall protection and comfort.
  • Longer Lifespan: 8–10 year surface life with minimal upkeep — no peeling or colour loss.
  • Fully Porous Design: Drains rainwater instantly, keeping the surface safe and dry.
  • Natural Look & Feel: Realistic turf texture blends into playgrounds and green spaces.
  • Maintenance-Free Lines: Inlaid running lanes and markings that never fade or flake.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got questions about Daily Mile Tracks, safety testing, or installation options? Here’s everything schools, nurseries, and councils ask us before planning a new artificial grass installation.

A Daily Mile Track gives pupils a safe, all-weather route to walk or run for 15 minutes each day. It supports The Daily Mile initiative, helping children improve focus, fitness, and wellbeing without needing special equipment or sportswear.

Yes. Our tracks can be fitted on existing playgrounds, tarmac, concrete, or grass fields. Where needed, we’ll install a compacted base and optional shock-pad underlay to ensure proper drainage and safety compliance.

Absolutely. Every installation can include 25 mm or 45 mm shock pads tested to BS EN 1177:2018 Critical Fall Height standards, giving extra cushioning for early-years and SEND settings.

Not at all. We design loops and circuits that achieve one mile over several laps. Whether your space is large, narrow, or irregular, our design team will map out a layout that fits perfectly.

Yes. Schools or contractors can choose a supply-only track kit — pre-made sections delivered ready to fit. Each kit includes joining tape, adhesive, and simple installation guidance. For full groundworks and fitting, our in-house team offers nationwide installation.

With correct maintenance, the artificial turf surface typically lasts 8–10 years. It’s UV-stabilised, colourfast, and designed for heavy daily use in education environments.

Yes — the turf and base are fully porous, allowing water to drain through quickly. The result is a clean, slip-resistant surface that remains usable all year round without puddles or mud.

In most cases, yes. Daily Mile Tracks support government priorities for physical activity and can often be funded through the PE and Sport Premium or local improvement grants. Our team can supply the specification documents needed for funding applications.

Maintenance is minimal — a light brush every few weeks keeps the pile upright and free from debris. For larger sites, we offer optional maintenance plans and annual inspections to extend lifespan and appearance.

We provide a full range of artificial grass solutions for schools and nurseries, from soft play areas to full-size sports pitches. You can also explore our shock-pad safety flooring and coloured artificial grass for creative playgrounds and themed activity zones.

Yes — we install Daily Mile Tracks and playground surfacing across the UK, including Manchester, London, Lancashire, the West Midlands, and West Yorkshire. Our in-house team travels nationwide to support schools, councils, and community projects of all sizes.
