Youngsters at Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy in Tividale took part in the 16-mile sponsored walk on June 25 in the hopes of raising £10,000 for the new pitch.
The school-goers got their steps in around Oldbury, Cradley Heath, West Bromwich and Wednesbury, visiting neighbouring schools and picking up litter as they went.
And their hard work has already paid off as they are more than halfway to their fundraising goal, having raised around £6,235.
