Richmond’s young athletes shine at TCS Mini London Marathon

We are pleased to share Team Richmond’s fantastic achievement at the recent TCS Mini London Marathon.

On Saturday 25 April, 43 athletes who live or go to school in Richmond upon Thames represented the borough in the mini marathon. The course began at Horse Guards Parade, looped around St James’s Park, passed Buckingham Palace and finished on The Mall, the iconic end point of the London Marathon.

In the borough challenge section of the mini marathon, where we competed against other London boroughs, Team Richmond delivered a strong set of results across the age groups. 

The girls under-14s won their age group with Laura finishing second and Eilidh ninth, and the boys under-18s placed third overall with Tom fourth and Ewan tenth. 

Following these top results, Richmond’s boys under-13s came sixth, the boys under-14s placed eighth, the boys under-16s also finished eighth with James taking seventh individually, and Harry placed tenth for boys under-12s. 

Richmond’s girls under-16s and under-18s came eleventh, and the girls under-12s finished twelfth. 

Congratulations to all the young runners for their outstanding performances and dedication!
