Catch up with all the action as Sara Cox sets off from Kielder Forest on foot, taking Pudsey... to Pudsey! This week, Sara is taking on Radio 2’s longest-ever challenge - five marathons in five days across northern England, all to raise money for BBC Children in Need. She’ll run, jog, and walk 135 miles through four counties, powered by pure northern grit and listener support. Follow Sara’s Great Northern Marathon Challenge live all week on Radio 2, take her with you on the BBC Sounds app, or ask your smart speaker to play Radio 2 so you don’t miss a moment.
