  5. Cross Country 1

Saturday saw the start of the cross-country season with 5 Lostock AC members heading to Heaton Park for the first instalment. This is always a tough event with lots of mud on an undulating difficult course. The course consists of 2 gruelling laps.

The ladies’ race is first, covering 5 miles. The first female home for Lostock was Rachel in a fantastic 44:04, followed by Katie in 55:59. The men then follow, covering a slightly longer route of 5.5 miles. The first Lostock AC member to cross the finish line was Paul E in an impressive 39:42, followed by Andy in 46:14 and Checkers 54:04.

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.
