Daily mile tracks can be a major part of students in Isle of Man getting regular exercise. They provide a way for encouraging students to tackle running at their own pace and are an important part of combating childhood obesity.
However, to get the best results, these daily mile tracks need to be made with the right materials.
We understand how important sport and physical activity can be to life as a whole: especially the life of children who are still in school and are at a point in their life where they need to take the initiative for their health.
While artificial grass can work in some school spaces in Isle of Man or for a sports school day, the daily mile trail often requires something more permanent than artificial grass.
The daily mile initiative is something many schools (and even some nurseries) are adopting as a way to get school children running or walking a daily mile.
Even walking this daily mile can make pupils healthier, and primary schools are the main places for this kind of daily mile track to make a difference.
We offer a range of coatings for daily mile initiative tracks, including markings to help lead children down the mile in the right way.
Regardless of age, we can provide the daily mile spaces that Isle of Man school children need to make the daily mile even easier - all without eating into your funding and leaving you with no hope of making other important changes.
The cost of MMA coatings and markings can range anywhere from £3 to £15 per square metre. This can vary based on a range of factors, from the location of certain schools to the actual shape and size of the one-mile track.
MMA paint can be incredibly useful when creating daily mile tracks in Isle of Man. Not only can it encourage proper running by pushing students towards using the daily mile track in consistent ways, but it can also offer some core benefits for the daily mile track itself.
Some of the most notable advantages include the following:
Greater durability, allowing pupils to be active without having to re-create or replace the daily mile track on a regular basis.
Better safety standards, making it easier to use the daily mile track markings as a tool for physical activity without children being put in any danger.
Education benefits, such as using the markings to mark distance or to keep them encouraged while using the daily mile track.
Physical benefits, like the daily mile track being less slippery than if it was made using thermoplastic playground markings.
More ways to create a fun daily mile track that can support children running and walking while also giving them more of a reason to focus on health and fitness.
All of this depends on how you use the Isle of Man markings. They can be a great way to create an atmosphere of health or a design that makes the daily mile track more comfortable to use.
They can even help to make the daily mile initiative more fully inclusive for children who may prefer walking or just want the fresh air instead of the physical activity.
A daily mile track can be created in many styles in Isle of Man, with most schools (both primary schools and secondary schools) focusing on their own school playground styles and colours.
A school may prefer a complete match between their daily mile track and existing school playground style or want to create a daily mile space that stands out from their own school sport areas. Popular colours include combinations of:
Yellow
Red
Blue
Green
White
Orange
Pink

Contact us to learn more about the specifics of what we can provide since there are a lot of options to consider when it to comes to playground markings.
