Hide AdIt has now been confirmed that parkruns will be held at both Haigh Woodland Park and Pennington Flash on January 1, starting at 9am.
No extra events will take place in the borough on Christmas Day.
However, many parkruns have not yet declared their intentions, so runners and walkers could take part in 5ks in neighbouring towns if they decide to go ahead.
Leigh junior parkrun, which is held at Leigh Sports Village on Sundays for children, will not hold an extra event on either day,
Runners and walkers of all abilities can take part in parkruns. Find out more and register at www.parkrun.org.uk.
