Start Limbering Up!
The Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile is back – and it’s coming to
Havant! Havant Borough Council is urging residents to sign up and
show their support for its Third Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile on
Sunday 25th March, 2pm.
Setting off from Staunton Country Park there are three distances
to choose from 1, 3 and 6 Miles (different start times depending on
distance). You can register on-line www.sportrelief.com or by
telephone on 0300 123 5070.
Richard Wood, Havant Borough Council Sports Development Officer
said: "Entrants don’t have to be sporty to take part. The
Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile happens every two years. From
teeny-tots with their mums and dads, to super sprinters up against
the clock there’s something for everyone on the big day.
"In 2010, the Havant Borough mile had more than 250
participants. This year we want to make the day even bigger and
better – so we need your help to do it! Register today and join us
at Staunton Country Park for one of the UK’s biggest fundraising
events."
Sport Relief has a unique history of dedicated people doing
extraordinary things to rise to the challenge. Last September,
David Walliams started Sport Relief off with an epic splash when he
completed The BT Sport Relief Challenge: Walliams vs The Thames.
Despite battling a nasty bacterial bug and bitingly cold water,
David swam a staggering 140 miles and has so far raised over
£1million for Sport Relief.
