The free-to-enter event takes place on Saturday 25 April. On Saturday, you will also see: the TCS Mini London Marathon Championships, the 2.6K event for athletes in secondary school years seven to 12; and the TCS Mini London Marathon, the event for schools to run, jog, walk or wheel in the heart of the capital. There is a one-mile route for children in Reception to Year 7 and a 2.6K route for those in Years 4 to 12 who can go a bit further.

Watch the TCS Mini London Marathon Championships - the race that has launched some of the UK’s greatest athletes, including Sir Mo Farah, Keely Hodgkinson and David Weir. After the Championships, stay tuned to see thousands of children cross the iconic TCS London Marathon Finish Line. Around 20,000 young runners will take on the one‑mile or 2.6K route.

The livestream begins at 08:15, ahead of the first Championship race at 08:30, and will run until around 16:00. From 08:15 to 10:45, presenters Rick Edwards and Swarzy Macaly, together with commentators Richard Newman and three‑time Olympian (and two‑time Mini London Marathon champion) Steph Twell, will guide viewers through all the action.
