Children and young people taking part will be the first people to cross the world-famous TCS London Marathon Finish Line this year (yes, even before the adult elite athletes!).

The age groups for the 2022 TCS Mini Marathon championships are:

  • Under-13 Boys and Girls (must be aged 12 on 31 August 2022, or at least 11 years old on the day of the event)

  • Under-17 Boys and Girls (must be aged 15 or 16 on 31 August 2022)

Each London borough can have a maximum of 6 boys and 6 girls in each age group.
