1. A school fun run builds anticipation and excitement.

Watch anticipation grow for the big event! Just like a birthday party, students get more excited as the day gets closer.

By promoting your School Fun Run, kids naturally become excited to run their race. As students count down for the big day, their joyous attitudes create a fun and electric atmosphere around your school.

Having something to look forward to can also make it easier to persevere through long terms or difficult times at school.

A School Fun Run can help build excitement and anticipation at school.

2. Fun runs encourage outdoor activity!

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Australian school students are prone to insufficient physical activity at school.

Therefore, it is necessary for schools to encourage physical activity! Providing engaging avenues for participation can help encourage students to join in and get moving.

Not only that, but a School Fun Run also removes kids from the classroom and gives their minds and bodies a change of scenery – things that are known to benefit learning when they return.

3. A school fun run fosters inclusion and encouragement.

With many schools being fragmented by different break times, grade divides and the challenging dynamics of multiple age groups, a Fun Run is the perfect way to bring everybody together.

Students help each other navigate obstacles, and bond over a fun shared experience.

Fun Runs foster inclusion and encouragement as kids navigate the track together or cheering for each other from the sidelines.
