  5. SELOC – Street Orienteering in Lostock and Heaton

Lostock AC members took to the streets of Lostock and Heaton to take part in the South East Lancashire Orienteering street league.

Members could select 60 minutes or 75 minutes to follow a map and answer the clues. Members ran between 4 to 6 miles trying to find the controls.

Bev, Janet, Rachel H and Rachel S started well but got confused when finding one of the clues. They lost valuable time trying to work out where they had gone wrong!

Ian B had an impressive run with his family. Karen ran with her friend Katie. Mary had a good run covering 4 miles. 

Other members took the event more seriously. Josie and Matt covered an impressed 6.4 miles, Greg and Mark covered 5.5 miles as did Andy and Ian J.

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.
