The TCS Mini London Marathon Championships 2024 Takes Place on Saturday 20th April

The TCS Mini London Marathon Championships invites children and young people to run, jog or walk in the heart of the capital.

Compete against the best new talent in British Road Running!

The race covers the last 2.6km of the world-famous London Marathon course finishing on the mall. Over the years this wonderful event has launched the careers of international athletic stars including Keely Hodgkinson, Josh Kerr, not to mention the incredible Sir Mo Farrah who won The Mini Marathon 3 times!

Whilst the event is open to young athletes in various age groups we will be entering those in school years 7 to 12.

Athletes will be selected to represent this year’s Westminster team based on their best 5K parkrun time completed between 8th January – 8th April 2024 so make sure you get that under your belt asap!

Full details can be found on our dedicated page TCS Mini London Marathon Championships 2024.

Do Something Good for the Environment Today!

We just wanted to remind you about the Reverse Vending Machine at Paddington Recreation Ground.

Just to refresh your memory, following one of the Climate Assembly’s recommendations, the machine was installed with the aim to incentivise recycling.

For every correctly recycled single use bottle or aluminium can, North Paddington Youth Centre will receive 10p worth of funding. How great is that? You can do something good for the environment, whilst raising funds!
