The London Mile
Get ready for an amazing day out at London's Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile! With our specially prepared traffic-free route, this is a great chance to run (or walk) through the city centre, while being cheered on by family, friends and well-wishers. Right now we're working hard to make sure there are loads of fun activities to give you a day to remember and to say a big thank you for getting involved and raising money to help others. If you're in need of a rest after your Mile though, there's always the entertainment provided by musicians, street dancers and other performers, or some super celeb spotting to keep you occupied.
Make sure you enter either the 3.15 pm, 3.40 pm, 4.05 pm or 4.25 pm wave if you want to be in with a chance of being seen on BBC ONE! The TV cameras will be capturing all the live action at the London Mile during these waves so secure your place now.
You'll also be in great company - Kelly Holmes, Keith Wood and Jason Leonard will be at the starting line at 3.40 pm and the kids will go wild to run alongside Sportacus in the 4:05 pm wave! Don't miss out!

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 London they are 0.98 miles, 3.26 miles and 5.8 miles long, depending on which distance you choose.
Entertainment info
Your Mile will be kick-started with a lively group warm-up session and we’re organising stacks of activities for your enjoyment too. It’s a great chance to get motivated, or you can always just kick back and enjoy the atmosphere provided by the musicians we’ve invited along. The choice is yours! The range of entertainment provided may be subject to change.
