Lostock AC members embarked on another challenge, the gruelling Yorkshire Man. This is an off-road marathon across the South Pennines. The 26.2 miles covers a dizzying elevation gain of 3,300ft. The rain was not kind, and this made the race even more demanding. Some paths had turned to rivers and participants were required to wade through the water.
Sally, Bev, Janet and Heather completed the challenge together in an impressive 6:21:16. Mike and Kerry took part in the team challenge finishing in 6:39:39 and securing 10th place in the mixed couples.
