Organiser Sue Norris, who works at the Crick-based company, said: “It was a beautiful morning and around 50 adults and children took part.

“We were surrounded by really stunning countryside and it was wonderful to see so many children doing something to help poorly children.”

She said the runners were in good spirits for the fundraiser at Daventry Country Park.

“It was a truly magical Christmas atmosphere and touching to see to many people of all ages doing their bit,” added Sue.
