  5. Saunderse Lakeland Mountain Marathon

Race report by Josie:

This weekend, Tony Marlow & I teamed up on the Saunderse Lakeland Mountain Marathon which started at Mickledon in Langdale. The event involves navigating to controls/features that are marked on a map whilst carrying everything needed for 2 days including tent, stove and food (a very heavy pack!). As Tony is only 10weeks post surgery, we dropped to a shorter class than usual but the same challenges arose!
Day 1 was very wet & windy with minimal visibility. After enduring over 4&half hours up mountains in some miserable weather, we arrived at midcamp cold but in 16th place from 118 starters.
The weather improved on day 2 along with our motivation and performance. We challenged ourselves on some serious terrain to get the most optimum lines and finished day 2 in a fantastic 10th place and 1st Vets. This put our overall position for the weekend as 12th & 2nd Vets. 🎉 A great result. Thanks Tony 😊

Ian Hesketh Memorial Duathlon Race

Race report by Steve: Sunday morning didn’t have the familiar Lancashire chill we’re used but at last it was mild! The atmosphere around the school car park was comfortably warm from the off. The Ian Hesketh Memorial Duathlon — a low-key, friendly affair run by Burnden Roadrunners for the second time — is exactly the ... Ian Hesketh Memorial Duathlon Race

Edinburgh 1/2 marathon

Race report by Jo: When I signed up for this race back in September, I definitely wasn’t expecting to be running in tropical heat in Edinburgh. The day kicked off early with a 5:45am park‑and‑ride bus into the city. The race started at 8am on Potterrow outside the University of Edinburgh’s McEwan Hall. After the ... Edinburgh 1/2 marathon

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.
