Life President

I am honoured to be Life President of our wonderful club, I have been a member since 1983 and have held various posts in that time including 4 stints as Chairman. I have competed in lots of different races over the years mainly on the road inc 4 marathons, Tour of Tameside 4times, also some fell races including the 3 Towers, Anglesarke Amble (winter and summer) Fairfield Horseshoe, Harrison Styckle. I have been through lots of highs and lows with the club and can say without doubt that the last few years have been fantastic, with a great influx of new members who are beginning to take part in all our events, may this continue.

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.
