Just one day before the London Marathon, the streets of the iconic British city echoed with the noise of tiny footsteps — the TCS Mini London Marathon had begun.
On Saturday, April 25, kids were able to take part in the TCS Mini London Marathon, which invites schools to run, jog, walk or wheel either one mile or 2.6 kilometers in London. The race featured two routes — kids in kindergarten to seventh grade could choose the one-mile option, or those in fourth grade to twelfth grade could choose a 2.6-kilometer race.
Although kids couldn't join the race individually, they could enter via a ballot from their schools. If a school were chosen, they could register up to 40 kids across both routes. However, adults were required to accompany kids in kindergarten to second grade on the course.

The event was free to enter, and the race's title partner, TCS, gave £10 to every student who finished the race. Kids receive a finisher medal once they cross the finish line.
On the day of the race, the BBC spoke to several participants who'd just finished.
“It was tiring. I got a stitch halfway,” one child said. “My dad said, ‘Ah, you left me behind, well done,’ ” said another.
Fitness coach Joe Wicks explained to the outlet why he believes it's so important to get young kids moving and active in their adolescence.

“They’re beaming with energy and that’s what I love about moving. It’s such a great way to just feel positive and happy and energized,” said Wicks. “And I think the kids that do this, hopefully, go on to have an active adulthood.”
