  5. The Yorkshire Man Marathon

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.

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.
