Wheelchair users joined able-bodies athletes at a special series of events to raise money for charity.

Great Malvern Triple Run competitors gathered at Worcester Athletic Club, at Nunnery Wood Sports Centre's outdoor track, to begin the race.

The fund-raiser, on Tuesday, April 3, included three separate events - a half-marathon in the shadow of the Malvern Hills, a 5km Spring Run and a 1.1km Chicken Run, which is designed to be accessible to children with special needs.

All of the contestants who took part in one of the three races - all of which ended at the same finishing line at the athletics club - were presented with a medal.

Acorns Children's Hospice Trust is a registered charity, established in 1983, which has three hospices, one of which is in Bath Road, Worcester.

A community team offers practical and emotional support to families in their homes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
