A nationwide fundraising event where schools across Aotearoa run, walk, or roll one mile to make sport inclusive for everyone—especially students with physical disabilities.
It’s about more than running a mile: its about raising funds and awareness so every Kiwi can can have equal access to to sport and PE.

We recommend holding your Halberg Mile around 3 December — International Day of Persons with Disabilities, or any day during that week. But the event is flexible — run it whenever it suits your school’s calendar.

Anyone! Students can run, walk, or roll the one-mile course. Your school decides the scale — it could be a single class, a year group, a house competition, or the whole school together.

Click Register Your School to sign up and set up your fundraising page. From there, you’ll get starter materials and guidance to help make your event a success.

Schools create a fundraising page here. Families, friends, and the wider community can donate directly to your page. Funds raised help the Halberg Foundation provide inclusive sport support in schools.

• Downloadable fundraising toolkits (posters, social media graphics, emails)
• Classroom learning activities about Sir Murray Halberg, inclusion in sport, and the Halberg Foundation’s work
• Tool kit of goodies to help you set up a fun and inclusive event 

For too many young people with physical disabilities, P.E. can mean exclusion. The Halberg Mile helps change that.

Every contribution supports the Halberg Foundation’s work to give schools the tools, training, and confidence they need so that every student can play, participate, and thrive.

No matter how it’s done — on foot, in a wheelchair, or otherwise — it all counts toward the same one-mile goal. The spirit of inclusion comes first, and schools can adapt the event to suit their students’ needs.

There’s no cost to participate. Schools just need to register (and optionally fundraise). All proceeds go directly to enabling accessible, inclusive sport in schools.
