If the LHC at CERN does create mini black hole(s) and in the race between hawking radiation and matter munching the latter wins... How long would it take for the Earth to be destroyed?

a long time as the chances of it hitting any particles and absorbing them is very small. once it gets bigger, say to a few micrometers across, then quite soon.
