In a reversal of the route recently undertaken by Huddersfield fans, the 26-mile walk will begin at 8am from Turf Moor on Wednesday, January 2nd, and will aim to arrive at the John Smith’s stadium at approximately 6pm, prior to the Clarets’ kick off v Huddersfield Town at 7-45pm.

There is also the option to join the walk for the final five miles from a meet point in Elland.

All funds raised from the event will be split 50/50 between the Alzheimer’s Society and Burnley FC’s official charity, Burnley FC in the Community.

Mr Garlick said: “Huddersfield FC’s Chairman Dean Hoyle tackled this walk just a few weeks ago and now, we want to reciprocate the efforts.

“I’m hopeful the event will raise significant funds for the club’s official charity, Burnley FC in the Community and the Alzheimer’s Society, which is another charity close to my heart.”

Already signed up and joining Mike Garlick for the event will be Burnley FC’s chief executive officer Dave Baldwin and Burnley FC in the Community’s chief executive officer, Neil Hart.
