London Marathon Events is very excited to be able to offer previous Mini London Marathon Championships participants the opportunity to return this April, and to relive their experience to mark the historic 40th edition of the event.

On Saturday 26 April, previous participants can return to the Start Line and take in the sights of the TCS Mini London Marathon in its historic 40th edition. It will be an opportunity to see how the event has grown over the years, to join fellow alumni and the organisers for something to eat in hospitality on The Mall, as well as participate in the very special ‘40th wave’ covering 2.6km.

Participants can run on their own or bring a young family member(s) (under 18) to run with them, and to pass on the magic of the Mini London Marathon to the next generation.

Once the wave is full then there will be no space for late entries so make sure you don’t miss out. If you’re interested, please email Minimarathon@londonmarathonevents.co.uk with:

• The full name and contact details of anyone to run in the 40th wave (please note it is limited to one adult place for a previous participant and up to two young family members)
• Which year you ran the Mini London Marathon Championships
• How many places are required in hospitality (including close family members)

Those wishing to take part will be contacted by London Marathon Events with more details.

Ben Cooper, Event Lead for the TCS Mini London Marathon, said: “In 2025, London Marathon Events will be celebrating the famous history of the TCS Mini London Marathon, and those who have helped make it what it is today. Over the last 40 editions, some of this country’s biggest names in sport have been born – including the likes of our Olympic gold medallist Sir Mo Farah – while numerous others have enjoyed a successful career in sport and activity, inspiring the next generation of young people to be active. The 40th wave welcomes back some of those past participants and winners, and their families, to take in what the Mini London Marathon has become and to hopefully pass the magic of the event on to their families, friends and many more. We look forward to welcoming them back.”
