  5. Nicky Nook Fell Race

Race report by Checkers:


Yesterday I went up to Scorton to do a new Fell race Nicky Nook. Having been up here before on a brief visit on a cloudy day. I thought it would be great to enjoy the evening sunshine over Blackpool.😒  Alas not to be as the rain clouds got stuck on the hill.  This didn’t spoil the race.😄 I was glad I had  my Fell shoes. The race under foot is more trail than fell. A bit like Harrock Hill. Surprisingly there is a fair bit of climbing for a small hill. However the downhill sections were brilliant, great for a runner like me😄. After stopping for photos I was able to re-catch the runners who passed me. A part from the small bleak area of moorland on top. The area around the hill is stunningly beautiful 😄

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.
