The Lostock AC annual Trail race took place on Wednesday 15 April 2026. 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.
Prior to the race, it had been pouring down with rain but luckily it stopped before the race. Sadly, the rain left the course very wet, making the race even tougher!
This year Lostock AC used the race to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK in honour of member Tony Marlow , who is a cancer survivor. In a fantastic twist of fate, Tony won the race in a time of 40:18, followed by Greg Kilshaw 41:21 and Mark Shuttleworth 42:07.
Nikki Hamerton was the first female in 43:23, followed by Hazel Hatfield 44:57 and Bev Atherton-McKenna 48:18.
Other results include: Gaz Foulkes 42:35, Brian Halton 42:46, Chris Baker 43:36, Steve Hughes 43:42, Gareth Pratt 43:48, John Harrison 43:56, Andy Laycock 44:16
Matt Withers 44:37, Mike Berry 47:02, Luke Baker 47:25, Phil Holland 47:39, Paul Lacey 48:19, Heather Soden 48:44, Evan Burrell 49:02, Jenna Wood 49:19, Ian Burns 53:22, Lee Burns 53:51, Terri Aldred 56:17, Rachel Stevens 56:17, Jo McManus 58:52, Gill Baker 58:52 and David Wilcok 1:02:00.
The club raised a fantastic £400 for Prostate Cancer UK.
