STEP up to a charity challenge and join others from across the country for the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Mile.

Warrington is one of the towns to be hosting the fun run and this time competitors can have their pick of the distance that they would like to run.

Runners can run either one, three or six miles to test out their determination, all in the name of charity.

Victoria Park is the venue for the big event on March 16 and runners are asked to sign up as early as possible to beat the rush.

Clr Roy Smith, Warrington Borough Council executive member for community services, said: "We're delighted that Warrington has been selected to host this exciting event and we're looking forward to seeing hundreds of residents taking part, getting sponsored and raising money for Sport Relief."

The charity event uses sport to help change people's lives as the nation tackles sporting events to help raise money for good causes both here in the UK and around the world.

More than 200 Sport Relief Mile events will be taking place across the country and organisers hope that the town's residents put their best feet forward to get plenty of support for the event.
