A procession of entertainers and local (sport) celebrities will be leading the Walk a Mile through the Pinderfields/College Grove area. The route is especially designed for this occasion.

John Allott, Associate Director of Wakefield Wildcats says, “It is wonderful to do something locally and raise money for Sport Relief 2006 at the same time!”

This event is one of hundreds taking part around the country on Sport Relief Saturday. Milers will be putting their best foot forward at events across 15 major cities and many more locally organised sites.

Sport Relief is an initiative of Comic Relief in association with BBC Sport. The last Sport Relief Mile in 2004 attracted 81,000 Milers including Princes William and Harry. Once again, everyone from teenagers in trendy trainers to families in fancy dress are being urged to enter a place on the start line at www.sportrelief.com. So get sponsored and help raise lots of cash for vulnerable people leading tough lives here at home in the UK, and in the poorest countries in the world.

The Sport Relief Red Sock is central to the experience of everyone taking part in the day. Each ‘Miler’ will take part wearing one red sock, and at the finish line they’ll be presented with a second to make a pair, and show the world that they’ve socked it to poverty.

To book your place in the Mile, go to www.sportrelief.com now.
