SPORTY fundraisers are urged to go the extra mile for charity.

Chester Racecourse is hosting a Sport Relief Mile in association with Sainsbury’s.

The event takes place on Sunday, March 21, and Ellesmere Port residents are encouraged to sign up and take part.

The mile sets off at 9.30am and participants can do one, three or six miles.

Comic Relief will spend the money raised through sponsorship helping poor and vulnerable people both here in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries.
