Harwich Runners are pleased to announce the return of the Wix '5' 10th November 2024.
This year's race is being held in memory of a past Harwich Runner's member, Gary Donoghue, who had been an active member of the club, helping with coaching and in the past, had been Wix5 Race Director for many years.
This year, with Gary in mind, we have also established a partnership with MANUP? - A male mental health charity https://www.manup.how - they will be present at the event, and we will also be making a donation to them from the proceeds of this event
