As 13 July draws closer, more information on the event, which will be presented by John Inverdale and Lisa Rogers, will appear on this website.

But if you fancy setting up your own Superstars event, why not consider whether you could compete in the following events.

100m sprint against the clock

Football Challenge - race against the clock while dribbling a football between markers - or see who can score the most penalties out of 3 attempts, or keepy-uppy for the longest

Basketball Challenge - who gets the highest number of consecutive bounces over 20 meters

The Gym Test - who can do the highest number of Dips and Squat thrusts in a specific time

Highest number of rugby or netball passes between pairs of contestants over 100 meters without dropping the ball

Skateboard, scooter, roller-blading races against the clock

Tennis challenge - the quickest time over 100 meters bouncing a tennis ball on your racket, drop it and you're disqualified from the race.

The competitors are scored by the position they finish in each challenge.

If you have 10 people taking part, award that number of points to the winner, nine points to the person in second place and so on.

The overall superstar is the person with the most points after all the challenges have been completed.
