Three junior football coaches from Chipping Football Club, a grassroots football club set up in 1884, are running an ultramarathon to raise £90,000 needed for a new 3G pitch at the club in Preston. The 55km (34 miles) challenge will see them pass four football grounds in Lancashire. The club has raised £30,000 so far but needs another £60,000 to upgrade its astro turf, which is more than 20 years old. The trio are running from Blackpool FC to Chipping FC via AFC Fylde and Preston North End FC, with dozens of junior players running the final 1km to help.
