RUNNERS from across York and North Yorkshire laced up their trainers to do their bit for the big BBC Sport Relief push.

More than £31 million has been raised for good causes across the world by the mammoth charity effort, with events in our region contributing towards the final total.

A key part of the fundraising fun was a string of Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Miles staged yesterday across the country, with one of the charity runs being held at Rawcliffe Bar Country Park on the edge of York.
