Lostock AC members travelled to Warrington to take part in the Runthrough Warrington Running Festival. Participants could compete in a range of events covering different distances.
Rachel H completed the 1/2 marathon. The race started in Bank Park in the centre of Warrington and snaked around the streets in the city centre, cutting through Victoria Park before heading around Reddish Park farm and back to the beginning. Hancock had a fantastic run finishing in an impressive 1:50:07.
Hazel and Lynda completed the 10k. This followed a similar route but omitted the loop around the farm. Hazel who was pacing a friend to a PB finished in 51:42, shortly followed by Lynda in 58:34.
