Last year more than 100,000 children took part in the Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon in schools. This year, they are aiming to inspire 500,000 children to finish the event between Monday 27 September and Friday 22 October.
To complete the event, children needed to run/jog/walk 2.6 miles (all at once or over as many days as it takes).- most
Year 6 did this in one go on the afternoon of Tuesday 12 October.
One mile is 8 laps of the field. So 2 miles is 16 laps. 0.6 laps would then be 3/5 of 8 more laps.... so round up to 5 laps. So, the children ran/jogged/walked a total of 21 laps today to successfully complete this. We were extremely proud of their enthusiasm for this and their support for each others. They really were good collaborators in this event!
