The Three Sisters Recreation Area at Ashton-in-Makerfield was created some 30 years ago out of three giant colliery spoil tips (the “Three Sisters” or “Wigan Alps” as they were ironically known).

The track is accredited to stage international karting events, and is one of the most challenging race circuits in the UK. It features an exciting blend of low and high speed corners which are available in many different configurations from 400 metres right up to 1600 metres.
