TCS Mini London Marathon in Schools | London Marathon Events
This London Mini Marathon has seen more than one million children in the country take on the challenge since 2020. More than 300,000 students have joined so far this year, including approximately 530 of our own pupils! Over the course of the week, all of the children at Coundon Primary School (from Nursery to Year 6) took part in the Mini Marathon 2026. Each year group chose a to complete the distance in one go or spread it over multiple days. They ran, jogged or walked a two-mile course within our school setting. These sorts of events strongly promote physical activity, and the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle, as well as ensuring inclusivity. It was so lovely to see the children and staff outside, enjoying the movement and the sense of community that such an event brings.
As well as our children enjoying the chance to get out running, some of our staff have also been doing the same… Mr Vernon (IT support) completed the Brighton Marathon the previous weekend and Mr Fortune (SSO) completed the Coventry Half Marathon the following weekend. A huge well done to both of them, excellent role models for leading active and healthy lifestyles and both raising money for some extremely worthwhile charities.
