Radio 2’s Sara Cox Smashes 5 Marathons in 5 Days for Children in Need!
Radio 2 star Sara Cox has just completed an epic 135-mile challenge, running five marathons in five days across some of northern England’s toughest terrain. She’s pushing herself to the limit to raise money for BBC Children in Need.
The Great Northern Marathon Challenge
Sara’s mission, dubbed The Great Northern Marathon Challenge, saw her pounding the pavements and trails through Northumberland, Durham, North Yorkshire, and West Yorkshire. Every day, she smashed a marathon distance, battling brutal winds, rain, rugged moorlands, steep ridges, and rolling hills.
Despite the grueling conditions, Sara kept going — cheered on by Radio 2 fans and locals in towns and villages all along her route.
