Harpenden runners are limbering up for this year’s Sport Relief Mile, which is set to take place in March.

After the success of the event in 2012, the number of spaces allocated for people to take part in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile has been doubled.

The town is set to host the run for the second time on Sunday, March 23, and is looking for the local community to show their support.

It is being organised by Camp Green, an outdoor fitness group, in conjunction with the Harpenden Sports Centre Harpers, and will open at 9.45am.

Setting off from just outside Harpers, the route will pass through Rothamsted Park and the surrounding area.

Entrants can be of all fitness levels and abilities and can choose to complete 1, 3 or 6 miles. The money raised will help to change the lives of people living across the UK and in some of the world’s poorest countries.
