Implementation
100km Club is designed to work within the way your school already operates.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all program, schools choose how they embed participation into their existing timetable, staffing and priorities.
The goal is simple: Create a sustainable model that supports engagement, wellbeing and readiness to learn - with every student able to participate.
Core Principle
100km Club is designed so every student can participate.
There are no barriers based on ability or experience - success is built through participation, effort and personal progress over time.
Start simple. Build over time.
Most schools begin with a small, manageable model, then grow participation, tracking and recognition as the program becomes part of school culture.
How it works
Schools shape their program across these 10 simple decisions:
1. Start with your purpose
What do you want to strengthen across the whole school, specific year level/s, and/or classes?
Engagement and participation
Health and physical activity
Behaviour and routines
Readiness to learn
School culture and belonging
Parent and community connection
2. Identify who will organise it
100km Club works across a range of models:
Staff-led (senior experienced teacher, PE teacher, classroom teacher, support staff)
Parent-supported (P&C members &/or other parent volunteers)
Hybrid approaches (shared responsibility)
👉 Many schools find a simple, shared model works best.
3. Choose when it will run
Schools can run 100km Club in different ways, including:
Before or after-school sessions
Lunchtime or break-time activity
PE or class-based participation
4. Decide how often students will participate
Daily
2- 3 times per week
Weekly
Flexible / event-based
Other?
👉 More frequent sessions support stronger habit formation and progress.
5. Identify the session length
What fits your timetable?
10 - 20 minutes (most common)
Longer sessions
Integrated into PE or class time
6. Choose your program duration
How long will it run?
A term
Multiple terms
Full year
👉 Longer programs allow students to build meaningful progress towards 100km.
7. Pick the course
Schools can run 100km Club in any safe and suitable space, depending on their facilities and context. Common options include:
school ovals and sports fields
courts, halls, or playground areas
swimming pools (for swim-based participation)
local parks or shared community spaces
indoor spaces for modified movement sessions
👉 The program is designed to work with the space you already have - no specialist facilities required.
8. Work out a lap distance
Schools choose a consistent lap distance to support simple tracking and fair progress over time. Common examples include:
100m - 400m loops (most common: 200m or 250m)
marked school oval circuits
hall or court-based modified laps
swimming laps (distance converted consistently per lap)
👉 The key principle is consistency - once a lap distance is set, all tracking is based on that same unit to keep progress simple and transparent. Keeping a consistent lap distance allows students to clearly see progress toward their 100km goal and makes tracking simple for staff and volunteers.
9. Decide how students’ laps will be tracked
How will laps be captured during sessions?
wristband or paper strip tallies, stamps, punch holes
paddle-pop sticks, tokens or pegs
QR code cards
How will progress be recorded over time?
student tracker sheets (provided)
spreadsheet-based tracking with automated totals (provided)
QR-linked digital system managed by school (see School Activation Kit)
10. Select recognition pathways &/or identity options
Certificates & stickers
Medals & trophies
Shirts
