Following the awards, Lostockers had a very busy weekend racing. On Saturday Janet Rhodes, Greg Kilshaw and Sally McCoy headed to Haworth to complete the Haworth Hobble Ultra. This a tough race covering 31.7 miles and an elevation gain of 4,396ft.

The race starts at Haworth Primary School. The course traverses gritstone moors around Haworth, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. Competitors must use their navigational skills and be ready for bad weather. This is a tough race testing the endurance and strength of anyone taking part.

Rhodes was the first Lostocker to complete the gruelling course in 7:06:40, followed by Kilshaw in 7:22:28 and McCoy returning from injury in 07:59:11.

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.
