Sport Relief set to hit Scarborough
12 March
The Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile in Scarborough is just two
weeks away and Sunday 25th March is set to be an unforgettable day.
Loads of local people have already signed up, but there’s still
time to bag your place! Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of
something amazing – enter the Mile at www.sportrelief.com
Setting off from the boat deck in Peasholm Park the Scarborough
Mile will take in the sights of the scenic park and is set to be an
incredible event. All the money raised by the public will help
people living unimaginably tough lives right here on our doorstep,
across the rest of the UK and in some of the world’s poorest
countries.
Scarborough Borough Council sports development officer Matt
Hewison said: “The Scarborough is set to be an amazing event. It’s
fantastic that so many people of Scarborough are gathering together
to show their support for Sport Relief 2012. But we want this to be
the best Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile yet – so raise your game,
enter the Scarborough today and join the rest of the nation to
raise plenty of cash for an incredible cause!”
As part of the event the park putting green will be open to the
public and also Dents Events will be in attendance with a bouncy
castle, a bucking bronco and also providing a face painting
service. Participants can choose their own distance, from one,
three or six miles, and can complete it in any way they fancy. From
teeny tots with their mums and dads, to super sprinters up against
the clock, there’s something for everyone on the big day.
Sport Relief has a unique history of dedicated people doing
extraordinary things to go the extra mile. 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. And there’ll be even
more amazing celebrity challenges to get the whole nation geared up
for the Sport Relief Weekend on Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th March
2012.
