Going the distance – leisure centres support Sport Relief

 

Cheshire East Council is once again preparing to support this year’s Sport Relief campaign.

The charity looks to raise money for Comic Relief via various sporting challenges – including the popular Sport Relief Mile.

Macclesfield Leisure Centre and the Cumberland Arena in Crewe will host the challenge on Sunday March 25.

Last year, the leisure development team raised more than £12,000.

To support those taking part in this year’s challenge, Cheshire East Council is also offering a four-week pre-Sport Relief fitness camp. The course is free and available to everyone but people must book in advance. It starts at the end of this month.

Cheshire East Council is also looking for volunteers to help out on Sunday, March 25.

Cheshire East Councillor Rod Menlove, Cabinet member with responsibility for environmental services, said: “Anyone of any age and ability can take part in Sport Relief. Last year, we saw work colleagues, families of all ages and even parents with prams take to the athletics track to raise money. The important part of Sport Relief is that it raises much-needed cash for people here in Cheshire East, as well as abroad.

“The boot camp is a must for anyone planning to take part this year. You never know, it could be the start of a new fitness regime. Whether people decide to run one mile, three or even six, our leisure development team will be on hand to help everyone prepare properly.”
