Milton Keynes Sport Relief Mile 2008
Published - Wednesday, 23 January, 2008
On Sunday 16 March you can join tens of thousands of people and take part in the ultimate Sport Relief challenge. The Mile event is taking place at thehub:mk on Midsummer Boulevard in Central Milton Keynes.

For Milton Keynes Miler’s it all begins at Witan Gate where you can get limbered up and enjoy the atmosphere before your Mile kicks off. Join thousands of runners, with crowds cheering you on as you make your way along the tree lined Midsummer Boulevard, through Central Milton Keynes. When you cross the finishing line, you'll feel fantastic and, by getting sponsored, you'll have helped to change the world by miles too!

Here are some great fundraising ideas for you:

• Make your sport part of your Mile – wear your sports kit, run in a scrum or carry a fully packed rucksack around the route to really test yourself.
• Run, walk, hop or skip your Mile dressed as your favourite sports star.
• Time challenge – race against your mates to see who’s got what it takes.
• Pull together the biggest team you can and do the Mile conga style!
• Hold a pasta party to get your carbohydrate load before doing your Mile on Sunday 16th March.

Comic Relief spends the money raised through Sport Relief to help vulnerable people living incredibly tough lives both at home in the UK and in the world’s poorest countries.
