Join our Team GB athletes at the UK’s biggest ever sports day
On Saturday 27th August ITV will be switching off for an hour so you can get up, get active and become part of Team GB – with some of our returning Olympic athletes and other well-known faces.
We’ve joined forces with ITV to create the UK’s biggest ever sports day. Thousands of clubs across the UK will open their doors so you can take part in a wide range of sports free of charge. For more information visit www.IAmTeamGB.com.
I Am Team GB celebrates the role you play in Team GB’s success through the support you give elite athletes by playing The National Lottery. You have helped raise over £80Million each year to help fund elite athletes during the four-year build-up to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
For the first time in three decades ITV is switching off its channels (from 9:30am on 27th August) and instead Coronation Street’s set will host activities including badminton, table tennis and a climbing wall, while Emmerdale will hold a duathlon.
Other venues taking part include the Copper Box Arena in London and Hope Cove in Devon.
Among the athletes taking part is long-jumper Greg Rutherford, who won Olympic gold in London and bronze in Rio.
“You don’t have to be an Olympian to be part of Team GB,” he said. “There are going to be thousands of fun, free events across the country. Get involved and be part of Team GB.”
