The Ipswich Mile
We’re looking forward to welcoming you for a fabulous day out for all the family in Ipswich on Sunday 16th March! There are stacks of sporty activities lined up to keep everyone busy, including football coaching and other demonstrations from the local clubs we’ve invited along, with the chance to try out all kinds of sports for yourself. But if that all sounds a bit hectic for a Sunday, you can always relax and take in the atmosphere provided by the local musicians and street entertainers who will take up their positions all along the route. The BBC crew will be joining us too, so get you best fancy dress outfit at the ready and we’ll try to spot you among the celebs! See you at Portman Road!

In order to ensure that the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Miles are safe and fun it hasn't always been possible to find courses that are exactly 1, 3 or 6 miles long. At Ipswich they are 0.96 miles, 2.88 miles and 5.76 miles long, depending on which distance you choose.
Entertainment info
The programme of activities will keep you busy throughout the day, with the chance to try out some sports – traditional and the more unusual – for yourself. As if that wasn’t enough on top of the Mile event itself, the line-up of musicians and other performers is sure to give the day an amazing atmosphere to remember. So sign up now! The range of entertainment provided may be subject to change.
