District councillors joined disabled athletes and their supporters in Keighley on Saturday to raise an estimated £1,000 for charity with a fun run.

Keighley West ward councillor Jan Smithies was sponsored to run three kilometres at Marley sports ground in aid of the Lord Mayor's Appeal.

Her colleague Doreen Lee, who represents Keighley East, acted as a marshal while the runners completed circuits around the borders of the playing field.

The runners, who included several competitors from last month's national Special Olympics, also ran across the Keighley Show ground.

Competitors were able to run either 3k or 5K in aid of the Lord Mayor's Appeal, which this year is supporting Bradford Disability Sports & Leisure.
