TSC Mini Marathon 2023
It all begins with an idea…
Darwin wanted to run the London Marathon 2023 - Mini Marathon, on Saturday 22nd April.
The TCS Mini London Marathon was back on Saturday 22 April, the day before the 2023 TCS London Marathon. This inspiring event is bigger and better in its second year!
TCS had an amazing response from schools and the event was at capacity.
Once Darwin completed the Mini Marathon…. She came straight to our
#TapClass immediately after!
Our Performing Arts School has #Tap every #Saturday
Why not enrole in one our #PerformingArts #DanceClasses.
