School children run Emirates Stadium Daily Mile

Arsenal in the Community and The Daily Mile combined their passion for getting young people active by inviting thousands of local school children to run in unison around Emirates Stadium.

Children from 20 local primary schools joined Arsenal fans and special guests Paralympian David Weir and Rudimental musician Leon Rolle, aka DJ Locksmith, for the combined effort.

Gunnersaurus also took part to support Arsenal in the Community’s healthy living initiative and The Daily Mile’s aim to encourage children of all ages to participate in at least 15 minutes of physical activity a day.

The event formed part of Arsenal in the Community’s healthy living offering, which delivers everything from family fitness sessions to diet and nutrition programmes for over-30s.
