Calling all budding young runners: Entries for this year's Ealing Half Marathon Mini Mile are now open.
The Ealing Mini Mile takes place on Ealing Half Marathon race day, Sunday September 25, and starts at 9.15am, fifteen minutes after the half marathon begins.
The runners cover a one-mile route around Ealing's Lammas Park where the race and charity village are located.
The race is open to age categories of 6-11 and 12-16 years. There will be prizes for the winners of the different age categories and every runner gets their finish time.
Event co-ordinator, Sandra Courtney, said: "We are pleased to announce the opening of entries for the 4th Ealing Mini Mile.
"Year after year we encourage and inspire young runners of all levels and all abilities to get involved and to take part, and we are expecting the 2016 places to be snapped up quickly.
"We will work closely with local schools again to raise awareness of the Ealing Mini Mile whilst continuing to promote running as a sport that is accessible to everyone.
"Taking part in the Mini Mile gives youngsters the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a big race, and we are hoping to see many of them on the start line of the half marathon in years to come.
"We are also excited to announce that Montpelier Primary School in Ealing will do the design for the 2016 Ealing Mini Mile finisher T-shirts."
Dan Tsantilis, whose daughter Audrey ran the 2015 Ealing Mini Mile, said: "Audrey was so excited doing the Mini Mile and being a part of the fantastic friendly atmosphere of the Ealing Half.
"She still talks about it months later and definitely got the #EalingFeeling!"
The entry fee for the Ealing Mini Mile is £7.50 per child, which includes a medal and a T-shirt for all finishers. Online registration is open now and limited to 400 places.
