The Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile held at Tone’s Dartmouth Leisure Centre on Sunday 25th March saw over 120 local people to come together and take part in the 1, 3 and 6 mile challenges.
At 10:00 the event started with a Zumba® Olympics session run by Sophie Carr, Zumba Instructor, which was enormous fun and a great warm-up for the event itself. The session was free of charge with donations going to Sport Relief. Ian Coates (pictures with fitness instructor Sophie Carr) raised £370.00 in sponsorship for doing the class.
35 people attended the Zumba® Olympics, while the children enjoyed their own Bouncy Fun session.
11:00 saw the start of the first wave of 1 miles, followed ten minutes later by the second. 11:30 had Richard Darch, centre manager for Tone, seeing off the first wave of the 3 and 6 miles, with the second wave leaving 15 minutes later. In total (excluding individual sponsorships) £242 was raised on the day through sign up fees and donations.
Richard Darch, centre manager said: “I’d like to thank the staff that donated their time to support this event. It was a great day, in glorious sunshine, with something for all the family. We now have a worthy target to try and exceed the next time the event is held.”
