Sara Cox, presenter of BBC Radio 2’s Teatime Show and Book Club, is set to take on one of the station’s toughest challenges yet for BBC Children in Need. The one-hour film, titled 'Sara Cox: Every Step of the Way for Children in Need', will document her Great Northern Marathon Challenge.
The challenge involves running the distance of five marathons over five days, starting from Kielder Forest near the Scottish borders and finishing in Pudsey, near Leeds. This symbolic journey aims to carry the BBC Children in Need mascot, Pudsey, from the border to the heartland.
Cameras will follow Cox every step of the way, from her training runs in London parks to meeting children and families who benefit from the charity’s support. The documentary will capture the triumphs and tears along the gruelling route, as well as interactions with the public who will offer encouragement.
The film promises an emotional return as Cox pushes herself to the limit for a cause close to many hearts.
