To be part of Team Lambeth and represent the borough you must first be selected at one of our time trials. Trials are taking place on 15 and 22 February at Brockwell Park. Running in a trial is free so what have you got to lose?
The Mini Marathon itself takes place on the same day as the London Marathon. The course stretches for three miles through central London from Old Billingsgate to The Mall.
In the footsteps of champions
London 2012 gold medallists David Weir, Hannah Cockroft and Mo Farah as well as Triathlon stars Alastair Brownlee and Non Stanford have all taken part in the Mini London Marathon as youngsters. The Mini Marathon is your chance to compete against the best new talent in British road running.
The event is open to entrants from the 9 regions of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, and will include teams from all 33 London Boroughs. Remember to be eligible you must either live or go to school in Lambeth as well as be aged between 11 and 17.
