Education Minister’s Running Challenge

The Education Minister’s Running Challenge is an annual event where WA students and education staff are encouraged to embark on an exciting fitness journey.

The 2025 challenge runs from Monday 21 July to Friday 19 September.

Established in 2023, the challenge:

• encourages students to run regularly 
• helps students develop a love for physical exercise 
• aims to improve health and fitness levels. 

To complete the challenge, primary school students are required to run, walk, wheel, cycle or scooter for a total of 200 minutes over 9 weeks. Secondary school students and staff need to complete a total of 300 minutes throughout the challenge.

The challenge is a great chance to get together, have fun with friends, win prizes, and get active at the same time.
