(You’re welcome) Get your steps in with JoeWicks The Body Coach Joe Wicks is encouraging schools across the UK to get moving and join the TCS Mini London Marathon in schools. The 2025 TCS Mini London Marathon takes place between Tuesday 22 April and Friday 2 May, and schools can join in by encouraging their pupils to run, jog, walk or wheel two miles in their school setting. The two miles can be done in one day or split over a number of days, and pupils can celebrate afterwards with a trophy awarded to all settings taking part. Schools will also get assembly packs and WWF-UK educational resources, including information on how to get involved in the charity’s Prescription for Nature campaign, which encourages people to get their daily dose of nature and to spend 20 minutes a day outside to boost mood, reduce anxiety and raise confidence.
