🎓 MEET OUR STUDENT VOLUNTEERS! ❤️

Every year, we're incredibly grateful to be joined at the Wigan 10K by students from local colleges and universities -including Edge Hill University, UCLan, the University of Bolton and Wigan & Leigh College, who generously volunteer their time to support our charity sports massage team.

It’s a fantastic opportunity for them to gain real event experience, work alongside our physiotherapists and put their developing skills into practice - all while helping us raise vital funds for FORME.

Over the years, so many brilliant students have been part of our Wigan 10K team, and we're delighted to welcome another group of volunteers for 2026.
You'll find them with us in Mesnes Park on Sunday 6th September, helping runners with pre- and post-race sports massage in return for a donation to FORME. 🏃‍♀️💆‍♂️

A huge THANK YOU to every student giving up their Sunday morning to support us. We couldn't do it without you! ❤️

💆 SHOULD YOU HAVE A SPORTS MASSAGE BEFORE YOUR 10K?

The Wigan 10K is getting closer… and we’re starting to get lots of questions about sports massage.

A pre-event massage can be used as part of your preparation to help you feel ready to run.

A sports massage may help with:
💆 Preparing the muscles for activity
🦵 Addressing areas of muscular tightness
🏃 Helping you feel more comfortable moving
🧘 Helping you feel physically prepared for your event

The best approach is to combine massage with sensible training, recovery, sleep, nutrition and hydration.

Want to try a sports massage before race day?

📍 Book online via our website or call on 01942 321235

And don’t forget…
We’ll also be providing pre- and post-race sports massages at the Wigan 10K on 6th September, with donations going towards FORME. ❤️

🦵 RUNNING INJURY SPOTLIGHT: SHIN PAIN

Training for the Wigan 10K?

One complaint we often hear from runners is pain around the shin.

Shin pain can creep in when your body is being asked to do more than it’s used to - particularly if you’ve suddenly increased your running distance, speed or frequency.

🏃 A few ways to reduce your risk:
✔️ Increase your training gradually
✔️ Give your body adequate recovery time
✔️ Don’t ignore persistent pain
✔️ Include strength work alongside your running
✔️ Make sure your footwear is appropriate and comfortable
✔️ Build your training consistently rather than cramming in extra miles

And remember…

Pain isn’t something you always need to “run through”.
If you’re experiencing ongoing or worsening pain while training for the 10K, getting it assessed early can help you understand what’s causing it and what you can do about it.

Not sure whether your ni**le is something to worry about?

Our physiotherapy team can help.
