Route information
Measure out your course but, please note, this doesn’t have to be exact. You need to complete two miles, and you can use any space you have, no matter how small or large!
Speak to your site manager, but schools typically use their existing playground as all-weather surfaces are ideal and you could create a lapped course. This surface is also easily risk-assessed.
