Our Ambassador, Eliud Kipchoge
Eliud Kipchoge is the world’s fastest marathon runner! On 12th October 2019 in Vienna, Austria, the Kenyan athlete became the first person ever to run a marathon in under two hours when he achieved the superhuman time of 1:59:40:2.
We’re excited that Eliud is working with The Daily Mile to get even more schools and nurseries signed up around the world. Like Eliud, The Daily Mile Foundation believes “No Human Is Limited” and wants to ensure every child has the opportunity to enjoy being physically active, outside with their friends.

20th September 2024What they say
-
I love to run and want to inspire others to run too. Therefore, I am proud to be a Daily Mile Ambassador. I encourage schools to join The Daily Mile community, so together we can make this world a running world.
Eliud Kipchoge, Global Ambassador for The Daily Mile -
We know that the positive experiences we have at a young age shape habits for life - which is why it's so key to help young children enjoy getting active daily. Running is the simplest, most natural exercise you can do, it's fun and social, and it helps to teach the basics of a healthy lifestyle. As childhoods become more sedentary than ever, we're proud that The Daily Mile initiatives have helped over 4 million children get up and running since 2012 - and are inspiring their families, too.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Founder and Chairman of INEOS -
It's fantastic what you're doing, getting youngsters out there running around, having a good time and burning off some energy. Keep up the good work!
Sir Ben Ainslie, Team Principal and Skipper for INEOS Team UK -
I'm proud to be a Daily Mile Ambassador... childhood obesity is becoming a huge problem in the UK... but there is a solution and it's already out there - it's called The Daily Mile.
Sir Andy Murray, Ambassador for The Daily Mile in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
