Mini London Marathon - we're taking part!
28th Apr 2026
Welcome to the TCS Mini London Marathon in schools! We're joining thousands of schools across the country that are taking on this fun challenge in their setting. Pupils will be given opportunities during Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week to complete the set distance during the event window. Pupils can run, jog or walk along the highlighted route to build towards the 2 mile distance of the Mini London Marathon Challenge.
All pupils who attempt the route will receive a Certificate from their class teacher. This challenge is a boost to our Take 5 'Be Active' activities and we encourage pupils to take part. Class Teachers will provide opportunities through PE lessons and Outdoor Learning during this week, for pupils to join the route and try to build towards 1k or 2miles, dependant on their age and stage.
To ensure pupils are comfortable and hydrated, those pupils taking part should ensure they bring trainers to school and a refillable water bottle on the coming days.
Look out for our celebration posts of our achievements across the school.
