| What is The Mini London Marathon |
Not Your Average Schoolyard Race!
Forget dodgeball and cafeteria mystery meat, the Mini Marathon is the coolest school field trip ever. We're talking running (or jogging, walking, or even scooting!) around the iconic St. James's Park in central London. That's right, you get to experience the thrill of crossing the real TCS London Marathon finish line – just like Mo Farah (except maybe without the fancy shoes and years of training).
It's All About Fun and Fitness! ♀️
Who says exercise can't be a blast? The Mini Marathon is designed to get kids of all ages and abilities moving. Whether you're a cheetah on the track or a sloth taking a scenic stroll, you're welcome to join the fun. It's a chance to challenge yourself, make new friends, and maybe even discover a hidden passion for running (or at least a love for free snacks at the finish line).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
More Than Just a Race: Mini Marathon Magic! ✨
This mini marathon packs a mighty punch. Here's what makes it extra special:

- Mini Me Medals: Every finisher gets a medal – a badge of honor for your incredible accomplishment (and bragging rights at school).
- Fundraising Fun: Many participants use the Mini Marathon as a chance to raise money for good causes.
