HUDDERSFIELD TOWN fans have been urged to get behind two more big charity efforts.

More than 200 are signed up to this year’s Pedal for Pounds, which will see fans cycle from Yeovil to the Galpharm Stadium.

But now the football club hopes to raise tens of thousands of pounds for charity with the two new ventures – Run or Walk for Pounds.

A 10km run through Huddersfield is part of the club’s Keep It Up campaign in aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

And so, too, is a 26-mile sponsored walk to the game against Bury at Gigg Lane on March 3.

Both will add to the football team’s list of current campaign fundraisers including the Pedal for Pounds challenge for cyclists from Yeovil to Huddersfield and the Walk for Pounds challenge, for ramblers.

The new 10km run is in Huddersfield on Sunday, March 18, and is for people of all ability levels, who will jog on a course taking in the town centre.

Sean Jarvis, Town’s commercial director, said: “It’s a fantastic concept which we’ve been thinking about for a while now.

“I’ve always thought that the football club – with its status and following – could undertake a mass participation event.
