Jamie Laing Races Through Harborough In Epic Challenge

BBC Radio One presenter Jamie Laing has set-off from Market Harborough on the third day of a big fundraising challenge.

The former Made In Chelsea star is running five ultra marathons in five days – a total of 150 miles – and has already raised over £100,000 for Comic Relief.

Crowds gathered outside the Three Swans Hotel on the High Street, where he stayed overnight, to cheer Jamie on as he began today’s stage, which will take him through parts of the Harborough district to Loughborough:

Before setting off, Jamie couldn’t hold back the tears after hearing messages from Radio 1 listeners – including one from Mariella, someone who has benefited from the difference Comic Relief and its supported charities make to people’s lives better.

He began the challenge in London on Monday and aims to finish at BBC Radio 1’s studios in Salford on Saturday.
