Road Champs - 12th May - Haigh Hall

The next Club and CLGP Race in the Road Championships takes place at Haigh Hall on Wednesday 12th May. The race starts at 7.30pm and covers a distance of 4 miles.

We will be meeting at Atherton Station at 6.00pm for prompt departure.

For those who have not pre-registered, registration can be found at Wigan Rugby Union Club. Please get there early as it's a good 10 minutes jog to the start line in Haigh Hall.

Directions are as follows:

Follow the main road to Wigan through Hindley and Ince.
Continue all the way down to Wigan, where, when the Tesco Superstore is opposite, turn right.
Follow the mini by-pass (Central Park Way) up the side of the Superstore, which is now on the left.
Follow this road A49 until you pass the hospital on the left; soon after the hospital take a right turn down Leyland Mill Lane, and on the upslope, left again down Wingates Lane, where Wigan R.U.F.C. is signposted. 500m past the houses, on the right, is an inclining track, which takes you up to the club.

If you have your number prior to the race you have the option of parking on the top car park near the Hall (Aspull entrance) and then running down to the start line (about 1 mile).

Alternatively you can follow the directions above and take a right into Hall Lane at the junction of Leyland Mill and Wingates and park up there. There are normally signs in this area directing runners to the start.

A link to the area can be found below.

If anyone is still confused get in touch with me and I'll try and help. See you all there.
