  5. Fur Nations International Event

Race report by Jon:

A 2hr drive down to the England leg of the Fur Nations international event at Shipley Country Park this morning rewarded us with a new 5k canicross PB of 25:56. That was enough to place us 5th in the 2 dog category, so we earned really good England points too. Even better, with a poo stop, a water stop and a wee stop on the way round (none were me! 🤣), we’ve got the potential to go maybe 2 mins faster on a ‘clean’ run.
To top my day off, I hit my lowest weight in 4 years when I got on the scales this afternoon. 👍
I can’t wait for the final Fur Nations leg up at Glamis Castle, Dundee on the next bank holiday weekend.

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.
