Allithwaite 8

Race report by Tony: As usual, it seemed like a good idea at the time – a race that Sheila and I hadn’t done previously as part of our ‘training’ for the Benidorm half in three week’s time. I’d either not read the small print, or had forgotten in the meantime, that the ‘8’ is Allithwaite 8

Yorkshire Marathon

Race report by Dave: We had a great time in York. We arrived Friday night, so had time to enjoy the National Rail Museum, a chocolate story on Saturday before heading out to dinner in a city packed with tourists.

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.
