Wheelchair Entry
The 2020 Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon
The Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon won’t be taking place in its usual form in 2020 as we’re unable to hold the races in central London this year.
However, the good news is that – for one year only – we’re offering children up and down the country the chance to participate in the Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon at their schools.
The challenge is for children to run, jog, walk or push 2.6 miles between Monday 28 September and Friday 9 October. To celebrate their achievements, all participants will receive an official Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon medal and certificate – all free of charge.
For further information, visit our 2020 Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon page.
Please note: The information below will be updated before the 2021 event.
