Rachel’s 350th Parkrun

At Bolton parkrun, Rachel H celebrated a remarkable achievement as she completed her 350th parkrun, a milestone made even more memorable amid a bustling field of 340 runners. A busy start made positioning tricky, but that did little to dampen the enthusiasm or performances of those taking part.

Janet followed closely in 25:26, finishing 5th female, 1st in her age category, and recording a Bolton PB. Strong runs continued from Chris (25:36) and Mel (26:07), who placed 8th female and 1st in her age category.

More age-category successes came from Brian (27:32), Rachel (28:04), Sally (28:30), Sheila (31:55) and Bev (28:41), while Bolton parkrun PBs were also claimed by Lee (28:25), Matt W (28:38), and Gill B (31:43).

Race report by Tom: I’ve never been to Cornwall so what better way to see as much as possible than a 50 miler around the Coast.

What our members love about Lostock A.C.

Greg Kilshaw

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.
