Lostock AC member Jo took part in the CancerCare Christmas Cracker 10k. The event encourages families to adorn their finest Christmas outfits and run either 1 mile, 10k or a ½ marathon. The race also raised money for a local Cancer Charity.
Jo opted for the 10k. The race started at the side of the River Lune, near to the 3-1-5 Health Club. The race followed the riverside path, making this a flat and fast route, with leaders rocketing away from the start. The race crossed the river before runners completed a uturn and headed back along the River.
Jo had a fantastic run, she was the 21st person to cross the finish line in 47:17 and was the 6th female.
