THE LiveWire Mile is set to return for a third year as part of the inaugural Warrington Festival.

Participants can sign up now to run, walk, skip, hop or jump the mile challenge – which takes place in the town centre on Sunday September 20.

The race will kick off at 1pm, shortly after the English Half Marathon and 10k run, with families and individuals encouraged to take part and get active while raising money for a charity of their choice.

Warrington Festival begins on September 5 and will see 25 different events in the town, including a Pixie Lott concert in Bank Park and a Jimmy Carr gig at the Parr Hall.
