Aragon Primary Mini Marathon 2026: A Day to Remember 🏃‍♂️✨

March brought an incredible celebration of determination, teamwork and community spirit with Aragon Primary’s Mini Marathon 2026. In collaboration with @seanmcinnessc, over 600 pupils and staff took on the challenge, running as close to two miles as they could in a truly inclusive and uplifting event.

From Nursery through to Year 6, every child got involved, choosing their own way to take part. Whether running, walking, dancing or scooting around the course, pupils embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and positivity. The atmosphere was electric as children encouraged one another, celebrated personal achievements and showed real resilience throughout.

It was genuinely inspiring to see so many pupils pushing themselves, setting personal goals and cheering each other on every step of the way. The focus was not just on distance, but on effort, encouragement and enjoying being active together.

We were also delighted to welcome a range of special visitors, including Parkrun ambassadors and members of the local council. A particular thank you goes to Merton councillor Ross Garrod for coming along to support and celebrate our amazing runners.

A huge shout‑out must go to Ian, Dylan and Aadi in Year 6, who went above and beyond in the lead‑up to the event. By voluntarily running a lunchtime running club, they helped others prepare for the Mini Marathon and showed outstanding leadership. Their dedication was rightly recognised with special achievement medals – thoroughly well deserved 🏅.
