SUNDAY 21st MARCH 2027
The Mini Marathon is a fun run which is estimated to be just under 3km and is open to all the family. From serious athletes wanting a shorter race, to complete beginners wanting to have fun, get fit and raise money for charity all at the same time. The start time is 8:30am. Chip timing will be used for all competitors, so everyone will get their position and race time.
Adults and children can take part in the Mini Marathon. Children must be at least 4 years of age. If they are under the age of 11 they must be accompanied by a participating adult; both child and adult have to enter the race.
Race begins 8:30am

The Mini Marathon
All children aged 4 to 16 are automatically entered into the Schools Challenge when a school name is included on their Mini Marathon entry.
Prizes are awarded in the following age categories: Under 7, Under 9, Under 11, Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17. To qualify, a school must have at least three participants in a category.
There are both male and female categories and the top three children in each age group from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd schools will be awarded at a special presentation evening a few weeks after the event.
Awards are also given for the top three performing schools overall.
Details of the evening will be sent out when the winners are confirmed.
Please note all Mini Marathon competition results are by chip time, not gun time.
