The Leeds Mile

Come on Leeds! We’re gearing up for an amazing day out on 16th March for Sport Relief Sunday, and can’t wait to welcome you to join in the fun. Bring your family and friends along to give you a boost while you complete your Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile and if that isn’t enough to keep them occupied, we’ll also be laying on a whole host of entertainment and activities to give you all a day to remember. There’s the chance to try your hand at a load of sports that you might not have done in years, and some you might not have encountered before – gladiator jousting anyone? If that all sounds a bit busy, you always have the option of soaking up the atmosphere in the rolling parkland of Roundhay Park, enhanced by all of the local musicians and entertainers that we’re inviting along. The BBC TV cameras will be joining us too, so we look forward to spotting you among the celebs and the crowds. See you there!

Your start time and distance

You will be given a start time or, where possible, we'll give you a selection of start times to choose from.

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 Leeds they are 0.99 miles, 2.98 miles and 5.97 miles long, depending on which distance you choose.

Entertainment info

We’re planning a wide variety of sporty activities and other entertainment to make Sport Relief Sunday a day to remember. From traditional sports to inflatable games and gladiator jousting, you’re sure to be inspired to get active. Or if it’s a lazy day you’re after, just relax and enjoy the music and entertainment provided by the local performers. The range of entertainment provided may be subject to change.
