The Lostock AC club championships are in full swing this week with another midweek race. The road runners competed in the Haigh Hall 4 mile Trail race organised by Wigan Pheonix. This race is also the 5th race of the Central Lancashire Grand Prix.
Lostockers lined up on the start line with 300 other runners. This is a fast 4 mile race consisting of 2 loops, around the grounds of Haigh.
