The Lostock AC annual Trail race took place on Wednesday 24 April 2024. This is a fun race for Lostock members only.
The race covers 5 miles, starting at Dicconson Lane, Westhoughton. The race heads along Dodd Lane into Borsdane Wood. Participants complete a loop and then head back in the same direction.
James was the first Lostocker to cross the finish line in an impressive 43:04, followed by Dave Wilkes 43:06, Evan 43:14 and David P in 43:49.
Hazel was the first female home in an epic 46:12. The next female to finish was Nikki in 47:29 and third was Josie in 47:39.
Other results include Chris 46:20, Andy 46:38, Gaz 47:56, Brian 49:46, Rachel H 50:05, Heather 51:02, Tony 51:19, Sally 51:54, Mike 52:27, Martin 52:28, Jon Tuson 54:17, Katie 54:18, Amanda 54:43, David Wilcock 55:07, Sheila 55:56, Greg 56:53, Lynda 57:21, Karen 58:17, Mark 66:45.
There was some confusion on the course with members taking a wrong turn. However, Jo and Rachel S certainly put the ‘Lost’ in Lostock finding themselves in a housing estate and relying on Google Maps to get them back on course finishing in 75:23.

Saturday afternoon 7 Lostockers competed in the historic Rivington Pike Fell Race, one of the oldest races in the country, first held in 1892.

Saturday morning saw another strong turnout at parkrun events, with members spread across several locations.
