In the running to help Sport Relief

Dovestone reservoir will form a backdrop to a fund-raiser for this weekend’s Sport Relief event.

Organisers of the Saddleworth Village Olympics are staging a Sport Relief Mile at the Greenfield beauty-spot on Sunday.

Over 100 runners are already signed up for the wacky race, which starts at 11am.

Committee member Steve Bradley said: “Anyone can take part, whether they want to dress up as a giant panda, or the more serious runners that want to do it in a good time.”
