Beyond Trails Ultra

Race report by Mel: RACE REPORT: BEYOND MANCHESTER 55K ULTRA First ultra, done in 6h 10mins. And surprisingly? I felt strong. Running 55K through the trails of Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Bury and Radcliffe was no small feat—especially in the rising heat. It was tough, I took a tumble (classic fatigue moment), but I kept moving Beyond Trails Ultra

Beyond Trails ultra

Race report by Dave P: Great day with Philip Holland on the Beyond Trails Manchester 55km. The crowd were fantastic, perfect weather, well sign posted and the food stations were adequate.

What our members love about Lostock A.C.

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.
