For the civic head dressed as a squirrel for the fun event held on Tuesday. Pupils from St Mary Magdalene’s RC and neighbouring Wellfield schools took part and completed two laps of the field to earn medals and sweet treats.

The event was first launched in 2021 by the then Mayor and Mayoress of Burnley Coun. Mark Townsend and his wife Kerry. This year’s event raised cash for the Mayor’s charity Pendleside Hospice.
