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.

Race report by Josie: On Saturday, I travelled to the beautiful village of Buttermere in the Western Lake District to run The Buttermere Sailbeck Fell Race.
