About this event:
The Mini Marathon, on Sunday 7th May, is a unique sponsored running event for children aged between 5 and 16-year-olds.
This event is suitable for: All ages
This event costs: Free
Children can run, walk or jog their way around a 2.62 mile route in Royal Greenwich Park; the famous start point for the Virgin London Marathon. The 2.62 mile distance is one tenth of a full marathon.
All Mini Marathoners will receive a much-deserved medal and goody bag at the end.
Since the Mini Marathon first began in 2013, over 3,000 local children have donned their running shoes and collectively raised an incredible £180,000 for Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice!
Thanks to their support, in one month the Hospice has been able to provide 200 patients with 24 hours a day care on their Inpatient Unit, specialist care through their Day Hospice and helped their Community Nursing Team to support people at home and in hospitals. What an amazing achievement!
The registration fee is £7.50 per children and if every child taking part raised around £50 in sponsorship together they could help bring the amount raised in 5 years to £250,000. This would enable Hospice nurses to continue to provide their specialist care to more local families.
