There are just two weeks to go until the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile in Bath on Sunday 20th March, with hundreds already signed up to run one, three, or six miles.

There’s still time to bag a place, don your deeley-boppers and do yourself proud.

Cllr Martin Veal (Conservative, Bathavon North), Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: “It’s great to see that so many people have already signed up but we want even more people from across Bath and North East Somerset to take part and make it the best Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile yet.

“So let’s show the rest of the country what we can do and raise as much money as we possibly can for this incredible cause!” 

This year’s Mile will take place at Odd Down Sports Ground with everyone meeting at the start point at 11:00. 

The route will take make use of the cycle circuit and woods next to the playing fields; with 1 mile, 3 mile and 6 mile route options available.

In February, marathon man Eddie Izzard embarked upon his staggering attempt to complete a gruelling 27 marathons in 27 days across South Africa for Sport Relief.  

This epic challenge will see Eddie aim to run over 700 miles in temperatures of up to 30°C, tracing the story of Nelson Mandela’s life. 

Comedienne Jo Brand ‘did herself proud’ by taking on a Sport Relief Challenge which saw the 58-year-old walk an incredible 150 miles, coast-to-coast across the country from Hull to Liverpool.
