run4alife
If you’ve overdosed on the pies or the paella this summer and you want to get back into shape then why not consider training for Wigan Rotary Club’s run4alife, which is being held at Haigh Country Park on Sunday 25th September. If you can get sponsorship from friends, family and colleagues, you could add to the amazing £60,000 that the Rotary have already raised towards eradicating testicular and prostate cancer. This year is the seventh consecutive year that the run has been held, and Wigan Rotary Club have introduced a 10k run to the programme. This 10km run starts at 9.30am and is for runners of a more serious nature; the usual family event where you

can run, jog or walk starts as usual at 12 noon. The register on either run, please visit the website www.run4alife.com.
