Run Wigan Festival will return for the 10th year as organisers announce the date of the 2027 event
The first Run Wigan Festival was held in 2017.
Organisers of the popular Run Wigan Festival have announced when the 2027 event will be held.
It will mark 10 years since the running spectacle - which features a half marathon, 5k and family mile - first took place.
It has now been confirmed the event will be held on Sunday, March 14.
Registration opens on Friday morning, with early bird discounts for the first people to sign up.
The festival is organised by Wigan-based charity Joining Jack and this year’s event raised £23,000 towards its research into muscle-wasting condition Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Nearly 2,700 people took part in the three races, while there was also live music, food and drink vendors and other stalls at Mesnes Park for participants and spectators to enjoy.
