Due to the current COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic we have taken the decision to postpone the Wigan Trail 10k to next year – Sunday 9th May 2021. Any existing entries will be carried over to 2021 and anyone who can not make the new date will be able to transfer their place. We have suspended new race entries and will reopen later in the year. Like all event organisers (and we are runners too) we have made this decision with heavy hearts but have no choice and we hope everyone stays safe and healthy.
Event is held at the Springview Sports and Community Club, Wigan (formerly known as the Amberswood 10k).
ALL PRE-ENTRIES WILL GET THE EVER POPULAR FREE PIE AND PEAS!
The event takes place through the trails of Wigan’s Greenheart Amberswood Park, situated between Spring View & Hindley. This former mining area has been transformed into a beautiful 160 hectare nature reserve. To see how beautiful the area is now please take a look at our aerial footage of the 2018 race at the foot of the page.
The 10k Trail Race takes in many of the scenic bridleways of Amberswood, following a mixture of terrain from woodland trails to wide open gravel paths. The route is flat and open giving competitors the opportunity to challenge and beat personal bests.

Hi what is the min age for the 10k?
Hi! Is there a kids event before or after?
Hi Natalie, apologies a filter stopped me seeing your comment. There isn’t a kids event now, we just concentrate on the 10k, running two events concurrently was tough. For info there is a junior parkrun on Sundays at Skelmersdale.
Fab weather. Beautiful scenery. Brilliant organization/marshals. Thank you. See you next year.
