The Vitality Westminster Mile is a family-friendly running event organised by London Marathon Events. Launched in 2013 as a legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games, it invites participants of all abilities to take on a one-mile course in central London. The event is notable for finishing outside Buckingham Palace, and entry is free for children under 11. Alongside the race, visitors can enjoy the Vitality Wellness Festival in Green Park, which is free to attend and offers activities and taster sessions for people of all ages.

The event supports participants with practical resources, including training guidance, a participant guide, safety information and frequently asked questions. People can also get involved by volunteering or fundraising. Results are published online, and event updates and coverage help participants follow the day’s activities. The Westminster Mile is part of London Marathon Events’ wider programme, which includes running, swimming, cycling and walking events. Its central focus is making a one-mile challenge accessible and welcoming, while celebrating achievement across ages and fitness levels.
