St Peter's School PTFA are joining this year's Wimbledon Half Marathon. We have been inspired by every pupil running the Mini London Marathon at school in April 2025 to raise vital funds for a new daily mile running track - now the grown ups are getting involved!

As you may know, St Peter's has an all weather running track on the school field which means that pupils can maintain their fitness and stamina all year round. This is in desperate need of a full renovation, in the order of £60,000 - so far we have raised £9,000! The Daily Mile is a core part of a pupil's week at St Peter's and teachers choose when their class will run, fitting it in to an appropriate part of the school day. Running also has huge benefits for mental health and wellbeing. A short burst of physical activity boosts the readiness for learning as it has an impact on mood, alertness, verbal memory and reaction time. We have Daily Mile leaders and at various points in the year, classes compete for the greatest distance completed.

We hope that a new track will continue to inspire enthusiasm for running throughout the school and we regularly field the largest team in the Farnham and District Schools Cross Country events. St Peter's now organises this incredible event which is held in Farnham Park on two Saturdays across the year.

It would be amazing for more runners to join - would you consider signing up?
