CHIRK-BASED wood panel manufacturer Kronospan has been praised for its sponsorship of the Brynkinalt Running Festival, which takes place on Sunday, July 4.

The trail running race is raising funds for The Movement Centre, based near Oswestry at Gobowen's Orthopaedic Hospital.

The centre works with children who have disabilities which affect their movement control and offers specialist training to improve strength and control.

Alan Lewis, who is organising the event, said, “We are extremely grateful to the team at Kronospan for supporting the Brynkinalt Running Festival.

"We can't wait to welcome runners to the magnificent Brynkinalt estate for the three races.

The event is proving a popular trail running race and is fantastic for all abilities, as we have a 5k, 10k and 20k all on the same day.”

Curtis Langley, fundraising and marketing officer from The Movement Centre, said: “We are so thrilled that we have Kronospan supporting this local event in this amazing community.

"We can’t wait to share the day with all the runners, and we are sure they will love the views and the event itself."

Kronospan chairman Mike McKenna added: “The work of the Movement Centre in Oswestry supports many local families and we are proud to sponsor this fundraising event which we hope will raise much needed funds for the children.”
