Run Wigan Festival
Run Wigan Festival - including the Wigan Half Marathon, Wigan 5k and Wigan Family Mile
3 races
Event overview
All routes will all start and finish in Mesnes Park just outside Wigan town centre. Prizes will be awarded for the first, second and third male and female runners, as well as the winners of a number of other categories, and there will be an awards ceremony for the winners held on the day at the bandstand area in Mesnes Park. There will also be live entertainment at the bandstand and a number of food and drink vendors, so weβd encourage all runners and spectators to remain in the town centre after the run to make the most of the unique atmosphere. All Half Marathon finishers will receive a goody bag, T-shirt and a medal. All 5k runners will receive a medal and refreshments and all runners who have registered for the Family Mile and have a runner number will receive a Joining Jack medal. Entry is free to adults running with a registered runner aged 10 and under. There will also be a bag drop area for all runners to safely leave their belongings behind the Joining Jack Information Desk at the bandstand area.
