Sport Relief Mile 2016 - Kazakhstan

The British Embassy Astana is organising a charity run on Saturday, 14 May, and calls for participants.

What is Sport Relief?

Sport Relief was launched in 2002 by Comic Relief UK, a charity which supports poor and disadvantaged people in the UK and across the world.

Sport Relief Mile – a mass participation event open to everyone, regardless of their athletic prowess or mobility. People are encouraged to cover a distance of approximately 1 mile by whatever means they are able.

In 2016 British Embassies all around the world organise Sport Relief Miles to change life for better.
