WARRINGTON endurance runner Chris Ball will be undertaking an extraordinary 24-hour running challenge on Saturday 28 March, raising funds for the Mayor of Warrington’s chosen charities.
Chris will begin the challenge at 9 am, taking part in Victoria Park’s Park Run before running to Orford Park, where he will complete continuous laps for a full 24 hours, finishing at 9 am on Sunday morning.
He will be raising funds for the Mayor’s chosen charities.

• Warrington Youth Zone
• St Rocco’s Hospice
For the past 11 years, Chris has taken on a series of major charity running challenges, raising significant funds for the MS Society in memory of his father. Three of these challenges have involved running continuously for 24 hours around Orford Park – a location with personal significance, as his father was a proud Orford resident.
Chris has been regularly supported during his challenges by Councillor Mo Hussain, the current Mayor of Warrington, who has attended each event to offer encouragement.
Reflecting on this year’s challenge, Chris said: “As part of my challenges, I wanted to thank Councillor Hussain for all the support he has given me over the years by dedicating this 24 hour run to his Mayor’s Charities.”
The Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Mo Hussain, said: “I’d like to wish Chris the very best of luck as he takes on this mammoth challenge. He has the full support and encouragement of everyone in Warrington.”
Residents across Warrington are encouraged to donate to the Mayor’s Charity or come along at any time during the 24-hour period to jog or walk a lap with Chris and show their support. Whether during the day, evening, or early hours, every bit of encouragement will help keep him motivated through this demanding challenge.
