Wigan 10k

Fantastic and well organised event. Friendly atmosphere with good crowds and challenging course. A must for both the seasoned and new runners.

First time doing this 10k. I saw this advertised on Facebook so had a look and entered. As a club runner I got a discounted entry price of £19. I was happy that I got email confirmation and another email to let me know my number was on the way.
On race day the car park in the town centre was free. There was a great race village with food stalls and post race physio available.
The marshals on the course were friendly and very encouraging. I will be signing up for this race again next year. I have 2 minor gripes; firstly I dislike having to pay for a race t-shirt, it is normally included in the entry price. Secondly the Facebook page does not reply to questions-I asked if I could purchase a t-shirt post race(the profits go to the joining jack charity so was prepared to buy one) but I have had no response over a week later.
The Family Mile was also a very nice event which I did with my 7 year old daughter. She loved the medal.

This is the second time I have entered the Wigan 10k and it really is fantastic. If you only run one 10k per year, this should be the one.
