Comic Relief has partnered up with Sainsbury’s and has formed the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Games. There are three events, the mile, the swimathon and the cycle.
Here in Lincoln you can take part in either the mile or the swimathon, the nearest cycle is unfortunately Manchester.
Run by Comic Relief it is a way you can get active as well as help those less fortunate than you. And if you don’t feel like you’re physically up to the challenge then not to worry because for the run you can do either one, three or six miles. Even the most unfit of us must be able to run one mile, surely. Even if you cant run, walk. The Lincoln mile, as it is being called, is taking place on Risheholme Road near Bishop Grosseteste.
Running not for you? Then try the swimathon, you can do one and a half kilometers, two and a half kilometers, five kilometers or there’s even an option called simply swim. It will be taking place at the North Kesteven centre in North Hykeham.
Starting on Friday 21st and finishing Sunday 23rd March; why not get some sponsors, get active and help raise money for a good cause in the process.
