Feel like you're always running around? Well, this weekend you can at least do so for a good cause, by joining in the Tesco Run to Africa Challenge.

With treadmills on hand in stores all over the country, volunteers are invited to run one kilometre each, to be added together to reach the target total of 9,500km, the distance from Dublin to Addis Ababa. The hope is to raise €100 per kilometre to fund educational facilities in Africa, with Eamonn Coghlan and Sonia O'Sullivan already signed up for their stints.
