More than a thousand athletes kept the blood pumping for Sport Relief this year by running a mile in schools, parks and town centres.
Both Dartford and Gravesham had hundreds of runners taking part over the weekend as the UK raised a record-breaking £50 million for impoverished children.
Offical Sport Relief races were held at Gordon Promenade in Gravesend and Dartford Harriers Athletics Club in Cranford Road, Dartford on Sunday.
However, schools, clubs and leisure centres across north Kent didn’t wait for the race as they organised and took part in their own activities.
In Gravesham, Gad’s Hill School, Shears Green Infant School and St George’s School all ran a mile on the school playing fields.
While in Dartford, Leigh Technology Academy in Green Street Green Road had more than a thousand pupils take part in a Sport Relief day.
At the event, half the proceeds were donated to Sport Relief while the other half was donated to Year 8 pupil Charlie Randell who is fundraising for a life changing operation in America.
Charlie was diagnosed with a severe form of cerebral palsy and has never been able to walk unaided.
Other schools organising their own Sport Relief miles include New Ash Green and Hartley primary schools.
As well as schools, supermarkets and leisure centres also joined in on the act to help contribute to help raise hundreds of pounds.
On Monday evening, a five-a-side football tournament has been set up at Fleet Leisure Centre in Northfleet with proceeds donated to charity.
Staff at Sainsburys in Priory Shopping Centre, Dartford, raised £600 for the charity by cycling 259 miles - the distance to Paris from Dartford - from inside the store.
Gym members at Fairfield Pool and Leisure Centre in Lowfield Street, Dartford, also met in Central Park on Saturday morning for a mile run.
