The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are reportedly to run the London Mile together for Sport Relief.

Organisers are hoping that the royal couple will take part, as Prince William has taken part in previous years.

Catherine and William are expected to run down The Mall near Buckingham Palace on March 25.

A source told told the Daily Mirror: "We are in talks with the Prince's representatives and understand he is eager to support the event, as he has done previously. We're hopeful Kate will be able to do it too.

"It's a huge honour to have the support of the Royal Family for this event, which raises millions of pounds for people in poverty in both the UK and abroad.

"We hope hundreds of thousands of Brits will follow in their footsteps to run a Sport Relief mile somewhere in the country to raise cash."

There will also be a Westminster Mile on March 14, when 100 MPs will race through St James's Park after Prime Minster's Questions.

And insiders are hopeful they will include David Cameron, who took part in 2010 before his election to Downing Street.

New Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams has already raised more than £1million by swimming 140 miles of the River Thames.

X Factor stars JLS have already recorded an official Sport Relief single for the event.
