Where to cheer Jill Scott on her 388-mile homecoming to the Stadium of Light | OneFootball

Jill Scott is on the final leg of her 388-mile Sport Relief homecoming, running 28 miles from Bishop Aukland to the Stadium of Light today. Supporters are being urged to line the route as the former Lioness and Sunderland football icon returns.

According to Sunderland Echo, Jill set off from Wembley Stadium on Monday, 8 June. She cycled to Villa Park on day one, rode 99 miles to Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium on day two, ran 38 miles to Manchester on day three, then yesterday cycled 111 miles to Bishop Aukland.

She has already reached Croxdale in County Durham and is expected in Durham City around midday, crossing New Elvet Bridge through Gilesgate and on to Sunderland Road.

West Rainton follows along Chantry Place Road before 2pm, then East Rainton, where she leaves the A690 for Durham Road, likely before 2.30pm, with a good spot outside East Rainton Primary School.

Houghton-Le-Spring is next, with St Michael’s church a vantage point between 3pm and 3.30pm, then the route continues via Middle Herrington and Tunstall along Durham Road.

Keel Square and the new Keel Crossing should be reached around 4pm. She then heads to Roker via Roker Baths Road, with Roker Park at Park Parade a good place between 4pm and 4.30pm.

From Fulwell she doubles back at Seaburn Metro Station, then follows Newcastle Road to finish at the Stadium of Light at about 4.50pm. A live tracker is on the Comic Relief website and donations can be made via her Comic Relief funding page.
