The Wigan 10k medal has been revealed and there is still time to get your hands on one

This year’s memento, which has been designed by Wigan firm ADM Custom Clothing, features the pavilion at Mesnes Park, where the event starts and finishes.

On the back of the medal are the logos of organising charity Joining Jack and sponsor HW Moon Toyota.

It will be presented to runners and walkers as they cross the finish line of the race on Sunday, September 6.

So far more than 1,200 people have registered to take part in the road race, which will see participants run from Mesnes Park to The Brick Community Stadium and back.

It will be followed by a family mile, where youngsters can earn their own medal.

Registration fees go to Joining Jack and participants can choose to collect sponsorship for the charity, other good causes close to their hearts or not fund-raise at all.

Last year’s event raised £55,000 for Joining Jack to fund research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy – the largest amount raised for nine years.

It took the overall total to more than £500,000 since the race was first held in 2013.

Joining Jack was set up by former Wigan Warriors player Andy Johnson and his wife Alex after their son Jack, who is now 18, was diagnosed with the incurable condition.

More information about the Wigan 10k and how to register can be found at www.wigan10k.co.uk.

Entry costs £27.50 (£25.50 with a UK Athletics discount code) for the 10k and £5 for the family mile.
