Paul Lacey runs the Chicago Marathon

Lostock members had an epic weekend of racing. Paul Lacey travelled to Chicago, Illinois to take part in the prestigious Chicago Marathon. This is a beautiful marathon, starting and ending at the Chicago lakefront. Participants run north following Lake Michigan for a long run to Pine Grove. Runners then head back towards Chicago and through the streets taking in the sights and sounds of the city. Runners continue to head south to Douglas before heading back to the lakefront.

This is an iconic race and Lacey had an amazing run. He completed the race in 3:58:30. He also ran an extra mile completing 27.25 miles.

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.
