Melrose Education is excited to launch its 750 Mile Challenge as part of National School Sports Week (6–12 July 2026). Bringing together learners, staff and school communities from across the country, the challenge encourages everyone to get moving and collectively travel 750 miles—the equivalent of visiting every Melrose school on a virtual journey around the UK.
Every 20 minutes of physical activity counts as one mile, with activities including walking, cycling, swimming, dancing, PE lessons, playground games and wheelchair activities. Along the way, schools will unlock milestone destinations, celebrate participation, and compete for a range of awards recognising effort, inclusion and teamwork. Together, we can be active, have fun, and show that every learner can make a difference.
