Our all-weather Daily Mile Tracks are designed to make it easy and enjoyable for Letchworth pupils to get outdoors, get moving, and stay active—whatever the season. These dedicated tracks provide a safe, accessible space for children to walk, jog, or run a mile a day, helping to build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
Already a popular feature in schools across the UK, our Daily Mile Tracks have supported thousands of Letchworth pupils in improving their fitness, boosting their mood, and enjoying valuable social time with their peers—all while benefiting from fresh air and outdoor activity.
We understand that increasing physical activity during the school day can be a challenge. That’s why our all-weather tracks are such a practical solution. By providing a dedicated space for movement, schools can encourage regular exercise without disrupting the timetable. In fact, many schools report improved focus and concentration in the classroom following a Daily Mile session.
Our Daily Mile Tracks for Letchworth schools are compliant with Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) regulations. They feature a 50mm polyurethane-bound rubber granule, providing a cushioned surface that absorbs impact, reducing the risk of injuries to pupils.
The high-quality materials we specify are not only durable but also easy to maintain and are designed to withstand daily use by the whole school.
Choose from our range of surfaces, including standard black or coloured rubber options and an artificial grass alternative.
Each surface is expertly installed on a compacted stone sub-base, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding terrain. We’ve also incorporated crossing points to allow ground maintenance vehicles to cross without any damage to the track surface.
Our surfaces are non-slip and porous, ensuring safety even during wet conditions.
At Edspace, our Letchworth design team creates a route plan that complements your unique setting and field-based activities. We can seamlessly incorporate existing footpaths and playgrounds into the daily mile track layout to increase distance without adding extra installation costs.
Our route lengths are calculated to ensure that a specific number of laps equals the target distance of 1 mile.
At Edspace, we use satellite technology to plan an optimal route for your Letchworth daily mile track, taking into account available space, other field based activities and any unique requirements you may have. Following our comprehensive assessment, we will submit a suggested route plan and a transparent, fixed-price installation quote. We take pride in our competitive pricing, ensuring that the price we quote is the price you’ll pay.
