  5. Heaton Park 5 & 10k

On Wednesday Jo, Rachel and George headed to Heaton Park to compete in the Runthrough festival of races. Runners can choose 5k, 10k or 10 miles distances. 

As it was a hot day, Jo and Rachel opted to run the 5k but George was feeling brave and completed the 10k.

The 5k is an undulating lap of the park and runners were warned about a tough hill on the course. It was a beautiful course passing the boating lake and Friends of Heaton Hall. The 10k was 2 laps.

Despite the heat Jo had a fantastic run, finishing in 25:01 finishing as 7th female and 2nd in her age category. Rachel followed shortly securing 9th female in 27:46.

George defeat the hill twice and secured a 10k personal best, finishing in an impressive 59:28.

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.
