Sign up for the Rochdale Millipede Mile

Participants in he 2012 Rochdale Millipede Mile

The Rochdale Millipede Mile, in Broadfield Park on Sunday 23 March, will support this year’s Sport Relief fund raiser.

One of over 500 events to be organised up and down the country, there is the choice of completing one, three or six miles and, as the Rochdale course stays on paths inside the park, it’s a real family occasion.

Event organiser, Link4Life’s Active4Life Co-ordinator, Elaine Stott said, “We hope this year’s Rochdale Millipede Mile will be another big success as local people young and old, running or walking, help to raise money for this great cause. Last time our 100 places were all snapped up and the atmosphere was fantastic.”

The three and six mile events both set off at 1.30pm with the one mile following at 2pm. Participants can collect their numbers from 1pm. Link4Life will be adding a range of family friendly sports and games to help make the event go with a swing and keep the children busy.

Registration for the event is in advance. Individuals or teams can enter online at www.sportrelief.com/event-info - search for Rochdale to enter the Millipede Mile.

The entry fee goes towards covering the costs of staging events across the UK and Comic Relief is committed to making sure that every pound raised through sponsorship goes towards helping to transform the lives of people dealing with poverty and social injustice.
