The Mini Marathon is a fun run open to all the family. From serious athletes wanting a shorter race, to complete beginners wanting to have fun, get fit and raise money for charity all at the same time.
The Mini Marathon is 2.5km or 1.5miles long. The start time is 10:00am, after the Half Marathon and chip timing will be used for all competitors, so everyone will get their position and race time.
And you'll get a T shirt and medal when you finish!
Adults and children can take part in the Mini Marathon. Children must be at least 4 years of age. If they are under the age of 11 though they must be accompanied by a participating adult; both child and adult have to enter the race.
There's also a schools challenge and every child of school age between 4 and 17 is also automatically entered into the Schools Challenge competition when the relevant school is added to the entry form.
Enjoy taking part in this fun run for Shine!
