The Coventry Mile

Come on Coventry! Get involved in the action and sign up for an amazing day out with family and friends. We’re looking forward to welcoming you with an exciting line up of entertainment and sporty activities, including cheerleading and street theatre. With so much going on, just don’t forget to run (or walk) your Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile! There’s the chance to try your hand at a range of sports, but if that sounds a bit too energetic for a Sunday, there’s always music from lots of local bands to enjoy and the chance for a little celebrity spotting. Make sure you get your fancy dress gear on if you want the BBC TV crew to pick you out of the crowds. See you at the Whittle Arches!
