Andy McClements, from TransPennine Express, said: "Fairy Bricks do such amazing work by putting smiles on children's faces through Lego, and so when Felix and the team found out about the 5k challenge it was a no-brainer.
"The only condition was that it couldn't get in the way of the day job - those pests won't control themselves."
