A popular North West run series returns in April with organisers pledging to donate profits from the first event to the Ukraine Emergency Appeal. The Medal Muddle 5K, organised by BTR Liverpool will take place on Saturday 23 April and involves an out and back route that takes runners along Hoylake Promenade towards Moreton and back to Hoylake.

It has been announced that all profits from the April event will be donated to the Ukraine Emergency Appeal – so organisers are encouraging people to get behind the cause and to wear Ukraine’s national colours of blue and yellow to show their support on race day.

BTR Liverpool's Alan Rothwell commented: “The images we are seeing on the news are devastating. Everyone is trying to come up with ways to do their bit to help – this is ours at BTR.

"By moving forward with our commitment to sustainability and the environment, we can also raise funds for people who really need help in their time of need. I’d urge people to take part and support this very important cause.”

BTR Liverpool recently donated T-shirts to clothing appeals for the Ukraine people. Other T-shirt donations have included 2,000 T-shirts to the Syrian crisis.

The Medal Muddle series was created by BTR as part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability. Surplus race T-shirts and medals are repurposed and rebranded, and presented to everyone taking part.
