European Mile

The European Mile is a free event celebrating the joy of moving again at your own pace – by running, walking, or rolling a mile.

Running and walking are among the most popular types of recreational physical activity in Europe. But in 2020, many of us stopped moving or moved less because of local restrictions. The European Mile is a fun and easy way to get moving again and reconnect with people around Europe by sharing your miles and donating them towards a common cause.

For the European Mile, the iconic distance 1.6 kilometres is the key metric. But there are many different mile distances, so we encourage you to #FindYourMile!

Anyone can register an event or even join in with a self-organised activity. Simply share your run, walk, or roll with the hashtag #FindYourMile to take part. Every Move Counts!

Create your own event or donate your miles during 2021 to take part and move together with people around Europe for the main celebration on 5 June 2021.

Here in Hungary, we are inviting schools to complete the 1-mile distance with their children from the start of Move Week (31 May) until the end of the school year (15 June) in some form: running, cycling, rollerblading, jogging, sprinting or whatever, and post about it using the hashtag #FindYourMile.

The European Mile is an initiative supported by the Erasmus+ Sport programme of the European Commission and is coordinated by ISCA as part of the NowWeMOVE campaign.
