Sport Relief - Get Involved!
Less than two weeks to go!!
It’s the final countdown!
Sport Relief 2014: Join in the fun and games
There's not long to go until the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile in Canterbury on Sunday 23rd March.
Hundreds of local people have already signed up but there’s still time to bag a place, put on that headband and enter the
fun and games! So what are you waiting for? Show Canterbury what you’re made of at the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile. Pull up your Sport Relief socks and get ready to run, jog, walk or wiggle the Mile across Park Wood, or take up the 3 or 6 mile challenge which incorporates the famous Crab and Winkle Way. Sign up to The Active Canterbury Mile now!
It’s not just the public who are taking
on the fundraising challenge. In February, daring Davina McCall went the extra mile
in the BT Sport Relief Challenge: Davina – Beyond Breaking Point. She ran, swam
and cycled 500 miles over seven days. Davina braved brutal conditions tackling
a punishing 130 mile cycle on day one, swimming the life-threateningly cold
Lake Windermere, scaling the colossal Scafell Pike on foot in freezing snow,
and then finished with a full marathon into London, all to raise as much cash
as possible. So now it’s your turn to get sponsored and help transform the
lives of people living here in the UK and around the world. Enter a running event
now at Canterbury or at one of more than 500
locations across the UK at sportrelief.com.
On Friday 21st March the BBC will treat the nation
to a special night of Sport Relief TV, with presenters Gary Lineker, Davina
McCall, David Walliams, Claudia Winkleman, Jack Whitehall amongst others,
hosting a star-studded show full of celebrity performances, comedy sketches,
highlights from this year’s challenges and films about the incredible work
Sport Relief supports. Del Boy and Rodney will be back on TV screens after 10
years with a special Only Fools and Horses Sport Relief sketch, featuring one
of the show’s biggest fans - David Beckham. Four brave Paralympians will swap
their sports kit for sequins and will take on a group dance challenge in a
Sport Relief Does Strictly special, with Tess Daly revealing the judges’
favourite on the night. There will also be further announcements about more
exciting sketches and specials in the coming weeks. Then on Sunday 23rd it’s over to you Canterbury to come together and take part in the Sainsbury’s
Sport Relief Games.
Important Information:
The mile starts by the sports pavilion, the 1 mile takes place around Park Wood (on campus) whilst the 3 and 6 mile use the Crab and Winkle Way and around parts of the campus. People can walk, job or run the routes. In some areas some people have done the 1 mile on pogo sticks or other random forms of transport to raise even more money for charity!
