He’s a tremendous role model for active folks of all ages and shared some loving guidance for [...]

Since almost 65,000 students in the state of Florida now have access to participate in the Morning Mile at their schools, we’d love to encourage these Morning Milers and their parents to take part in some of the Disney 5K Family races. They’re one of the most truly wholesome athletic adventures a family can have. These races are non-competitive, fun [...]

The quest for [...]

A shotgun start! No … there’s not really a shotgun firing at any Morning Mile school, but you’d think there was. Nothing like seeing dozens of kids exuberantly and anxiously awaiting to bolt the moment their Morning Mile Coordinator or Coach says “go”! Wouldn’t it be awesome if adults were also so eager to run? Laughter and squeals: Yes indeedy! [...]

Morning Mile has just completely changed the lives of our students. We have seen these kids become so motivated and addicted to fitness.

These children just warm my heart and give me such joy each morning that we do [...]
