Good luck to everyone taking part in this afternoon’s Get Fit Run organised by Chi-chi Ekweozor who aims to raise £777,000 for seven charities.
She’s organised the run and photocall as one of the events to raise awareness of her round-the-world fundraising challenge, 7 Wonders in 7 days to raise the money for Sport Relief and 6 other charities: Alzheimer’s Research Trust, Diabetes UK, Open Doors, British Red Cross, Feed the Minds and YoungMinds
Chi-chi has invited anyone taking part in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile on Sunday 21 March to join her at Sportcity this afternoon – runners all of experiences are invited, from the regular weekly jogger to the complete beginner so there’s still time to get those trainers on.
“We’ll be doing two warm up exercises and two ‘practice miles’ ahead of the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile on March 21, all within the warm and cosy environment of the 200m indoor running track at Sportcity. It’s the same track used to train Manchester’s budding Olympic athletes.”
Date: Saturday, February 27, 2pm.
Venue: Manchester Regional Arena, Sportcity, Manchester.

After all that exertion, time for a little cake. There’s a Teawitter (see what they did there) event on Sunday.
“The teawitter party is an excuse for Manchester’s lovers of things tea, cake and twitter related to get together and swap tales, put names to faces and enjoy the best in home made confection!”
Time: February 28, 2010 from 1pm to 5pm
Location: MadLab 36-40 Edge Street
