Vernon Kay's Ultra Ultramarathon Challenge - Day 3 Part 6

As Vernon nears the end of his third mammoth day of walking, Jo has the best tunes to get him there! There's also a Thursday Theme about marathon perils!

This week, Vernon has just 4 days to get himself from Victoria Park in Leicester to the stadium of his beloved Bolton Wanderers.

As Vernon nears the end of his third mammoth day of walking, Jo has the best tunes to get him there!

There's also a Thursday Theme about the perils of marathons, as we empathise with Vernon! Whether it's related to blisters, aches and pains or falling down, send all your songs related to the consequences of physical challenges to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk.

Powered only by his own two feet, Vernon Kay is travelling all the way from Victoria Park in Leicester - the site of Radio 2 In The Park – to the home of his beloved Bolton Wanderers, between Tuesday 14 and Friday 17 November. All to raise money for Children In Need.

Keep it Radio 2 to follow Vernon’s progress throughout the week, and take us with you on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds app.
