Lostock AC headed to Haigh Woodland Park to stage a Parkrun takeover. Lostockers marshalled, scanned bar codes, were time keepers and tail walkers.
Due to a tree being down on route A, runners were required to complete the more challenging route B. This route starts in front of Haigh Hall and is a steady down hill towards Plantation Gates. Unfortunately, the course is a gradual hill all the way to the finish line.
