EASINGTON MP Grahame Morris is calling on residents to get involved in a charity run raising money for good causes.

Run Peterlee will host the town’s first Sport Relief mile at East Durham College , Peterlee, from 9.15am on Sunday March 20.

Organiser Ian Kitching said: “The Run Peterlee event is open to everyone, from little one’s with their mums and dads, to runners wanting to compete against the clock.

“The Sport Relief mile is a family fun event, helping people to get involved in running while raising money for good causes at the same time.”

Mr Morris said: “I am delighted to support Run Peterlee and encourage local people to get behind their fundraising efforts for Sport Relief.

“I am looking forward to the event which I am confident will raise a lot of money for charity and I hope will inspire more people in East Durham to participate in sport and Run Peterlee”
