Staff and friends from Wigan Athletic and Wigan Athletic Community Trust will be taking on the Wigan 10K to raise funds for the club's official charity, Wigan Athletic Community Trust.

Each year, Wigan Athletic Community Trust works with over 12,500 people on projects based around Schools, Community Development and Education, aiming to:

- Increase participation in sport across all levels of society, particularly those from under-represented groups

- Encourage young people and adults to lead healthier and more active lifestyles

- Improve the skills, aspirations and opportunities for disadvantaged young people and groups

- Contribute towards increased community cohesion by improving the quality of life of people of all ages

Funds raised from running the Wigan 10K will be used to further support this work and improve the lives of people across the Wigan borough.
