Londoners are being urged to sign up for the Sport Relief Games, which will be hosted at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park next year.

Participants in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Flagship Games can take part in one of three events at the Stratford venue: a Swimathon at the Aquatics Centre, the Sport Relief Mile or a sponsored cycle ride which will start and finish at Lee Valley VeloPark.

The games will be on Sunday, March 20 and there will be live music and entertainment throughout the day.

Money raised will help disadvantaged people across the UK and in some of the world’s poorest communities.

Reality TV star Jamie Laing, who is supporting Sport Relief this year, said: “Come on London — you really don’t need to be sporty to get involved with Sport Relief. Signing up for the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Games is just the beginning.

“Getting sponsored is the crucial part, so rope in as many of your friends, family and colleagues as you can, to help you make a massive difference to the lives of those in need.”
