  5. Chair’s Fell Race

Wednesday night saw the annual Chair’s Fell Race. This is a race for club members that commences at Rivington Hall Barn and traverses the fells of Rivington,

The race covers 5 miles and an elevation gain of over 100ft. The race requires runners to run to the top of the Pike and also to the top of the Mast.

It was a difficult run and very wet underfoot. Many runners found the mud and bogs.

The first Lostocker to cross the finish line was Josie Greenhalgh in an impressive 52.22. She was followed by first male Andy Laycock in an awesome 53.37, shortly by Mark Shuttleworth in 53.55 and Brian Halton in 55.47. The next female to finish was Nikki Hamerton 56.34 and third was Rachel Hancock in 1.03.26.

Other results include Ian Johnson 57.20, Gareth Pratt 1.04.30, Matt Withers 1.06.06, David Wilcock 1.07.20, Mark Checkley 1.09.25, Chirs Baker 1.10.32, Tony Maxwell 1.10.51, Karen Taylor 1.12.03, Amanda Smith 1.12.13 and Chris Taylor 1.12.14.

The club would like to thank Mark Smith for organising and all the Marshalls who volunteered to help the race take place.

Joining Lostock AC has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I decided to give it a try mainly to loose weight and meet new people. It's really helped with my weight, mental health and output on life. I've been in the club over a year now. Everyone makes you feel so welcome and I love being part of the Lostock family. My running has definitely improved, especially seeing all the medals I've won. It is not just running, Lostock offers other activities too such as cycling, bootcamp and skiing. All I've had a go at which has just been brilliant. Lostock is my second family . I have entered the Machester marathon next year and an ultra. All this for someone who couldn't run . Everyone has made me feel very welcome in the club, I now consider myself to be a runner and would recommend anyone to give Lostock a try.

I joined Lostock AC to help improve my running and to motivate me to run more often. The club has surpassed my expectations. I am not from Bolton originally and did not have many friends in the area. I now feel part of an extended family. I have been encouraged and supported to run half marathons, marathons and an Ultra. I would never believe this was possible 3 years ago.
