Former Mini London Marathon Championship runners have been invited to take part in the 40th edition of the event on April 26

The list of former competitors at the Mini London Marathon reads like a who's who and includes Mo Farah, Hannah Cockroft, Keely Hodgkinson, Jake Wightman, Josh Kerr, David Weir and Alistair Brownlee.

This year to mark the 40th edition of the young athlete event, organisers are welcoming former competitors to relive their experience and take part in a special wave.

On Saturday April 26, previous participants can return to the start line and take in the sights of the historic TCS-sponsored event. 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.

Keely Hodgkinson and Jake Wightman (Mark Shearman)Participants can run on their own or bring up to two young family members aged under-18 to run with them if they wish.
