Robin Park Runners Wigan.

Introducing Martin 💛🖤

Whether it’s a club run, race day, or simply a quick chat before a session, Martin has a way of putting people at ease. He’s always willing to offer encouragement, share a few words of wisdom, or recognise the effort someone has put in.

Many runners will know Martin for his famous MartBot pose, but they’ll also know him as the person clapping runners on, as he heads back on musters, celebrating their achievements, and making sure everyone feels valued.

His positivity, and support help make Robin Park Runners the welcoming community it is today.

Motivation Monday 🖤💛

With temperatures staying high, this week’s motivation is simple: look after yourself.

☀️ Apply sun cream.
💧 Stay hydrated throughout the day.
⚡ Consider electrolytes before or after a run to replace the salts lost through sweating.

Take care of yourself, and enjoy the sunshine responsibly.

FEEL GOOD FRIDAY 💛🖤

Because sometimes the best part of running isn’t the running.

It’s the people.

Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Introducing Paul 💛🖤

Since joining Robin Park Runners just over a year ago, Paul has become a huge part of the club.

Whether he’s organising the race calendar, planning a run, leading a session, or getting everyone involved in the latest sweepstakes. Paul is always looking for ways to bring runners together and help make the club experience even better.

Known for his famous “Shooing the Chickens” warm-up, Paul has a knack for making sessions enjoyable while keeping everyone motivated along the way.

A fan of new routes, team adventures, and the occasional extra hill, Paul has quickly become someone runners know they can rely on. His commitment, and willingness to get involved have made him a fantastic addition to the Run Leader team. 🖤💛

Introducing Becky 💛🖤

Becky runs as a reminder of what is possible. After being diagnosed with MS, Becky could have let that define her. Instead, she chose to take up running and embrace the opportunities it brings — new places, new friendships, new challenges, and new achievements.

As a Run Leader, Becky inspires others not because she makes things look easy, but because she shows up, keeps going, and focuses on what she can do. Her attitude is simple: every step counts, and every effort matters.

Becky is proof that running isn’t about being the fastest or strongest. It’s about believing in yourself, doing what you can on the day, and never giving up on the things that make you happy. 🖤💛

Motivation Monday 🖤💛

The hardest part is often getting out the door.

We all have those days when the weather isn’t great, work has been busy, or the sofa seems far more appealing than a run.

But once you’ve made it out the door, it’s just one step at a time. This week, let’s just focus on lacing up our trainers and showing up. The rest will take care of itself! 💪

Our next club run is Tuesday at 6:30pm, Trencherfield Mill Car Park .See you there. 💛🖤

Congratulations Sunday Dave! 👏👏

A huge well done to David Moss on completing his 100th parkrun at Haigh Woodland parkrun this morning 🏃‍♂️🙌

Reaching 100 parkruns is a fantastic milestone and represents all the early starts, determination, community spirit and plenty of miles along the way.

Everyone at Robin Park Runners is incredibly proud of your achievement and we’re delighted to celebrate this special occasion with you. It was a fantastic morning 👏👏

Introducing Sandra 💛🖤

Some people lead from the front. Others lead by making everyone around them feel comfortable, supported, and capable of more than they thought possible. Sandra does exactly that.

Over the past 6 years, Sandra has become a much-loved part of RPR. Her calm nature, reassuring approach, and ability to put runners at ease has helped many members grow in confidence and enjoy their running journey.

Whether it’s a training session, a race day, or simply a chat before a run, Sandra is there with a smile, encouragement, and support when it’s needed most.

And of course, there’s the carrot cake… which may or may not have been responsible for a few extra PBs over the years! 🥕🍰

Introducing Rob 💛🖤

If you’ve ever found yourself at the back of a Robin Park Runners session, chances are you’ve seen Rob mustering back towards you!

As one of our Run Leaders, Rob is always looking out for the group. Whether it’s challenging runners at the front to push their pace, helping the group with the route, or making sure nobody feels left behind, he’s someone you can always rely on.

Dependable, supportive, and always willing to help, Rob plays a huge part in creating the atmosphere that keeps runners coming back week after week 🖤💛
