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 22 April 2025 to Friday 2 May 2025

School children completing their mile

Registration is open now!

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 and toolkit, 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.

Your toolkit contains the following:

  • Certificates and running bibs for participants
  • The all-important Finish Line tape!
  • Bunting and posters to decorate your school
  • Assembly slides with ideas to get active
  • WWF-UK educational resources and fundraising tips

If you feel inspired, look out for all the other events we organise throughout the year and discover how you can get involved.
