The Sport Relief Mile is back – and it’s coming to Colwyn Leisure Centre and Dyffryn Conwy Leisure Centre Llanrwst. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

This year’s event will be the fourth Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile hosted by Conwy’s Leisure Development Team, and will take place on Sunday 20th March. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The event needs local people to come together and make themselves proud by entering now at www.sportrelief.com ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Super sprinters and willing walkers will all feel at home with a choice of one, three or six miles. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Caroline Jones, Leisure Development Officer at Conwy County Borough Council said: “This is the fourth time the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile has come to Conwy. The event has been supported in the past by hundreds of local people, and I would call upon them again to don their running kit and get involved. From little ones with their mums and dads, to those running against the clock, there’s something for everyone to make themselves feel proud on this special day.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The colourful, cheerful and eager ‘milers’ will be doing their bit to make a difference to people living across the UK and the world’s poorest communities. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
