The Sport Relief Mile is back – and it’s coming to County Durham.

Durham County Council is organising an event in Barnard Castle and people are encouraged to get involved and show their support by completing the mile in any way they choose – fancy dress is optional.
From small children with their families to super sprinters racing against the clock, the challenge is suitable for all.Participants don’t have to be sporty to take part and people can complete one, three or six miles in any way they choose.
The event will take place at Teesdale School and those running six miles will set off at 10am and those running one or three miles will set off at 10.30am.
By being sponsored and raising money entrants will be helping to change lives in the UK and across the world in some of the poorest countries. To take part people can enter now at www.sportrelief.com
