The Southampton Mile
Come on Southampton! We look forward to greeting you at Palmerston Road where you can complete your Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile and have a great day out while you’re at it. There’ll be lots of sporty activities to keep you, your friends and your family busy, including demonstrations from the local clubs we’ve invited along and the chance to try out a wide range of sports too. But if that sounds a bit hectic for a Sunday, you can always soak up the atmosphere with a top line up of local musicians and entertainers who will take up their positions on route. Keep your eyes open for celebrity spotting and if you want the BBC TV crew to pick you out of the crowd, make sure you have your best fancy dress outfit at the ready!

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 Southampton they are 1.01 miles, 3.03 miles and 6.07 miles long, depending on which distance you choose.
Entertainment info
We’re working hard and lining up a wide range of entertainers and sporty activities to make sure your Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile is a day to remember. Music from local bands will provide a great atmosphere and our lively warm-up session is bound to get your Mile off to a flying start. There’s so much in the pipeline, so sign up now and we’ll see you there! The range of entertainment provided may be subject to change.
