Lostock members started the festive season by getting involved in Christmas races.
Tony and Sheila headed to Langdale in the Lakes to take part in the Christmas Pudding 10k. This was a wet, muddy and hilly race with an elevation gain of 510ft. As the name suggests, finishers were presented with a Christmas pudding.
Tony had a brilliant run finishing in 53:27. Sheila followed in 1:05:50.
