TCS Mini London Marathon in Schools
Schoolchildren of all ages and abilities are invited to run, jog, walk, wheel or be guided around a two-mile course within their school setting.
The TCS Mini London Marathon in schools can be completed from Tuesday 20 April to Friday 1 May 2026.
You will be able to register your school in January 2026.
It might be called Mini, but it’s a big event!
More than one million children have taken on the challenge since 2020. What's more, your school gets a trophy for taking part.
Once registered, you’ll receive a Participant Guide which will help you to plan your event.
You’ll need to decide where and when the children will be completing their two miles. You can do this over one, two, three days or more, depending on the ages and abilities of the children. If your school takes part in The Daily Mile, you can use this activity to count towards completing the challenge.
