Introduction

Wigan Phoenix, based at The Hesketh Arms, Shevington Moor, Standish, is a voluntary organisation whose aim is to promote and pursue athletics in Wigan and the surrounding area.

Please note that we offer various standards of interval sessions to suit all abilities.

All you need to do is just to turn up, introduce yourself to anyone on hand and say that you want to start and we can explain the usual routines. You don’t have to join straight away. We can offer friendly help and advice on many aspects of running/training. We have members from all walks of life with a common interest in running and athletics. Come along and run for fun or to train or for company during those long dark winter nights. There is no special commitment required at all; it’s more a question of what you want to put in to it. You will be welcome, whatever your age, sex or ability, whether you are training for fitness, losing weight or marathon training, road racing, fell running, or any -athlon you care to mention. You don’t have to be an elite runner.
