Sara Cox live tracker: How to follow Sara Cox's Children In Need marathon challenge as star approaches finish line
BBC Radio 2 star Sara Cox is set to complete her marathon challenge for Children IN Need later today - here’s how you can track her live route.
Sara has been journeying on foot across Northumberland, Durham, Northern Yorkshire, and South Yorkshire since Monday morning. She is aiming to complete her 135-mile journey, which is the equivalent of five marathons in five days, later this afternoon when she fittingly reaches Pudsey in Leeds.
In a brand new update, it was revealed that Sara had raised more than £6m, smashing through this morning’s earlier total of £4.1m. Responding to the new total, Sara told BBC Radio 2: “Oh my God, that's incredible. That's such a big leap! That's going to spur me right on!”

Earlier today, she had a message of support from Prince William, who said in a video message: “Sara, massive congratulations for what you’re doing. You’re so nearly there, just a little bit further, and I know the people of Pudsey will all come out and welcome you with huge open arms, big hugs, and hopefully, lots of your favourite crumpets. Keep going, you’ve done fantastically well, and the nation’s so proud of you.”
Sara is close to finish line, with just 12 miles of her 135-mile journey left at the time of writing. With the star due to complete her challenge later this afternoon, here’s how you can keep up with every step of her journey.
