Famous faces get set for the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile in Hull!
Fundraisers doing the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile in Hull on Sunday 21st March will find themselves rubbing shoulders with a host of famous faces. Comedian’s Tommy Cannon and Fiona Allen will join Emmerdale’s Effie Woods and Apprentice stars Lee McQueen, Lorraine Tighe, Michelle Dewberry and Raef Jayou. They are just some of the celebrities getting ready to rise to the challenge at the Hull Mile.
Hull’s fantastic Milers will be treated to the spectacular sights in and around Queen Victoria Square, before being greeted at the finishing line by crowds of cheering supporters! Milers will even get to choose their distance – 1, 3 or 6 miles – whichever’s a challenge. That means, from teeny-tots with their mums and dads, to super sprinters up against the clock, there’s something for everyone on the big day.
Coverage from the Mile events will be shown during The Sport Relief Mile Show on Sunday 21st March on BBC ONE, with those participating as the stars of the show. Hundreds of thousands of people across the UK are expected to be rising to the challenge, and best of all, the money raised by the public will help transform lives forever. Be a part of it and enter the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile right now at sportrelief.com.
To add a twist to the Hull Mile, Hula Hoops is encouraging the nation to help set a new world record for the most people hula hooping simultaneously across the UK. Places are limited so go to hulahoops.com to sign up.
