Sara's Great Northern Marathon Challenge, Day 4 Part 1

It's day 4 of Sara Cox's Great Northern Marathon Challenge for BBC Children in Need... Scott's setting her off with some surprises along the way!

The challenge will see Sara covering 135 miles on foot across four counties – Northumberland, Durham, North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire – a distance of five marathons across five days. She'll run, jog, and walk through sweeping moorland, steep ridges, and the rolling hills of northern England, with the support of towns, villages, and Radio 2 listeners, along the way!

Listen to Sara’s Great Northern Marathon Challenge live, Monday 10 to Friday 14 November, on BBC Radio 2. Take Sara with you on the BBC Sounds app, or ask your smart speaker to play Radio 2, so you don’t miss a second.
