The Mini London Marathon provides the UK’s most promising young athletes the chance to compete against the best new talent in British road running. Over the years, the event has launched the careers of international athletics stars including Sir Mo Farah, who won the Mini Marathon three times. 

Archie was selected by the West Midlands Team following a victory at a recent regional qualifying race, further building upon the success achieved last summer, where he came 1^st in the 1500m final at an England Athletics event, crowning him as England Junior Boys Champion.

Archie did exceptionally well, finishing 6^th in his age group overall, recording a time of 7 minutes 48 seconds over the 2.6km course.

Congratulations Archie – all of us at North Leamington School are incredibly proud of you!
