“The founder of the event takes the run to one different county every year to raise money for charity, and this year it is coming to West Yorkshire.”

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance will receive the proceeds of the event, and the charity’s helicopter is expected to land at Farmer Copley’s on Easter Sunday.
