The lines on the track still need to be painted where the repair work has taken place, but this will hopefully take place on Wednesday.

People Of Ellesmere Port Joined The Fun And Games For Sport Relief – Thank You!
More than 170 local people turned out in force on Sunday 23rd March at the Sainsburys Sport Relief Mile in Ellesmere Port. Milers of all ages were sponsored to do 1, 3 or 6 miles around the Stanney Oaks Athletics Track.

The day was a huge success with friends, families and work mates all joining together to go the extra mile for Sport Relief 2014.

Brio Leisure Bear joined in the fun and encouraged participants who included students from Chester University and members of West Cheshire Athletic Club who helped organise the event.

Event organiser, Dennis Wall said: It was an amazing day Watching the community come together to support such a great cause was brilliant We feel so proud knowing that the money raised here today will help people living really tough lives right here in Cheshire, the UK and across the world.

All over the UK, people of all ages came together to run, swim or cycle at over 1,000 Sainsburys Sport Relief Games events across the length and breadth of the country over the Sport Relief weekend.
Sport Relief would like to say a huge thank you to each and every person who has donated money or given their time to fundraise.

Sport Relief 2014: Join in the fun and games

THE Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile at the Stanney Oaks Athletics Track, Ellesmere Port, takes place this Sunday (March 23), between 10am and 2pm.

Hundreds of local people have already signed up to run one, three, or six miles, but there’s still time to bag a place, don that headband and enter the fun and games!

Participants at Stanney Oaks, Ellesmere Port, wanting to run 6 and 3 Miles will be setting off at 10.30am, and 1 Mile participants will start at 11am and then every 20 minutes until 2pm.

Event organiser, Dennis Wall, said: “We are delighted that so many people have already signed up but we want even more people in the Ellesmere Port and Chester area to take part and make it the best Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile yet. So let’s show the rest of the country what we can do and raise as much money as we possibly can for this incredible cause!”

It’s not just the public who are taking on the fundraising challenge. In February, daring Davina McCall went the extra mile in the BT Sport Relief Challenge: Davina – Beyond Breaking Point. She ran, swam and cycled 500 miles over seven days. Davina braved brutal conditions tackling a punishing 130 mile cycle on day one, swimming the life-threateningly cold Lake Windermere, scaling the colossal Scafell Pike on foot in freezing snow, and then finished with a full marathon into London, all to raise as much cash as possible.

So now it’s your turn to get sponsored and help transform the lives of people living here in the UK and around the world. Enter a running event now at the Stanney Oaks Athletics Track, Ellesmere Port, or at one of more than 500 locations across the UK at sportrelief.com

This Friday, (March 21), the BBC will treat the nation to a special night of Sport Relief TV, with presenters Gary Lineker, Davina McCall, David Walliams, Claudia Winkleman, Jack Whitehall amongst others, hosting a star-studded show full of celebrity performances, comedy sketches, highlights from this year’s challenges and films about the incredible work Sport Relief supports.

Del Boy and Rodney will be back on TV screens after 10 years with a special Only Fools and Horses Sport Relief sketch, featuring one of the show’s biggest fans – David Beckham.

Four brave Paralympians will swap their sports kit for sequins and will take on a group dance challenge in a Sport Relief Does Strictly special, with Tess Daly revealing the judges’ favourite on the night.

Then on Sunday, (March 23), it’s over to you to come together and take part in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Games at the Stanney Oaks Athletics Track, in Ellesmere Port.
