The 13th Wigan 10k raises £55,000 for Joining Jack
We are absolutely thrilled that the thumping 13th HW Moon Toyota Wigan 10k and Family Mile raised an incredible £55,000 for Joining Jack!
It is the biggest total since 2016 and smashes last year's figure - what a fantastic sum for Team JJ!
What an incredible day Sunday was over at Mesnes Park - despite the downpours. 3,096 of you lined up on the startline for the 10k followed by 560 stars of the future taking part in the Family Mile - along with some mums, dads, grannies, granddads and a few rather soaked family friends taking on an extra mile.
A magnificent JJ Salute on the startline went almost all the way back to the bandstand with so many people supporting Joining Jack in the park along with a host of other charities.
Huge congratulations to our winners from Sunday. In case you missed the official results and winners' presentation, here they are for the record:
