Six Lostockers joined 1624 runners at the Wigan 10K. The race started from Mesnes Park in the centre of Wigan. Lostockers spent too long standing around chatting and as a result, got stuck in the middle of the pen with the 70-75 minute pacers, the front runners made it a challenge to see how many pacers they could catch over the 10k!
The race is organised in conjunction with Joining Jack and all registration fees go directly to the charity to be invested in research and clinical positions to help in the battle to find treatments and end Duchenne for all boys living with this horrible muscle wasting and ultimately incurable condition.
Jack started the race with a 10 second count down and we were on our way heading towards Wigan town centre, then onto the DW stadium. We looped around the stadium to then make our way back to Mesnes park. The sun was shining at this point and this made difficult hot conditions for the final 3 miles. A great effort from all in some hot and sticky conditions.
The first Lostock AC member to cross the line was Dave Parry in an impressive 44:08, crossing the finish line in 168th position. The next to cross the line was Jo McManus (47:23), followed by Andy Laycock (48:24), Greg Kilshaw (54:13), Rachel Stevens (57:36) and Kate Rotherham (1:07:20).
