Sara's Great Northern Marathon Challenge, Day 3 Part 1

On your marks, get set, go! It's day 3 of Sara's Great Northern Marathon Challenge for BBC Children In Need... but how are her feet faring up?

On your marks, get set, go! It's day 3 of Sara's Great Northern Marathon Challenge for BBC Children in Need... but how are her feet faring up?

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.

You can also catch-up with the story so far, follow Sara’s progress via our live tracker, and find out how to make a donation at bbc.co.uk/sara

And for all the behind the scenes action head to BBC Radio 2 on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

Tina Daheley has the latest headlines, and Ellie Brennan will bring you up-to-date traffic and travel news. There’s sport, a Pause For Thought and your chance to get your hands on Scott’s Golden Toaster in the Easiest Quiz on the Radio!

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: "Ask BBC Sounds to play Scott Mills.”
