Success as the first Sport Relief mile is held in Lisburn
THE first Sport Relief mile was held in Wallace Park Lisburn on Sunday March 25 and with close to 300 participants and almost £2000 raised, it was certainly a success.
Lisburn had around 20 people running 6 miles, 30 running 3 miles and 240 running/walking the mile.
Councillor Thomas Beckett, head of the Leisure Services Committee, started the race and even went on to run 3 miles himself.
