The Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile is back – and it's coming to Stratford-upon-Avon. The town is set to host the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile on Sunday 20th March, and needs local people to come together and make themselves proud by entering now at www.sportrelief.com.
Local heroes from Stratford-upon-Avon will be walking and running themselves proud during the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile to raise life-changing money for Sport Relief 2016.
The colourful, cheerful and eager Milers will be doing their bit to make a difference to people living across the UK and the world's poorest communities.
Setting off from the Sports Pavilion, the Stratford-upon-Avon Mile will take in the pleasant environs of the Recreation Ground alongside the River Avon and opposite the world-famous Royal Shakespeare Theatre. It is set to be an incredible and inspiring event.
Danny Tolhurst, Alctive Communities Officer at Stratford-on-Avon District Council said: “The Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile in Stratford-upon-Avon is here and it's your time to walk or run yourself proud. From little ones with their mums and dads, to runners up against the clock there's something for everyone on this special day."
Sport Relief is back from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th March 2016 and there are more ways than ever for you to take part, change lives and feel proud.
