  5. Warrington 1/2 Marathon

Lostock AC members competed in the world’s first closed road running festival in Warrington. According to Runthrough the organisers of the event there were 6000 free places over the 3 distances which saw over 20,000 people enter the ballot.

3 Lostockers took on the longest distance in the event covering the Half Marathon distance. The run started and ended at the gold gates in Warrington town centre, it then headed into Victoria park adjacent to the Manchester ship canal. Once through the park the 10k group bared left and the Half Marathon runners headed out on towards Stockton Heath village to begin a slow gradual climb of about 4 miles through the countryside before looping and making our way back down hill towards the town centre.

First back for Lostock AC was Paul Lacey in 1:46:41, followed by Jo McManus in 1:49:58 and then Mike Berry in 2:13:38.

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.
