  5. World Athletics Road Running Championship Copenhagen

It was an international outing for two Lostockers as Gill and Chris headed to Denmark to take part in the World Athletics Road Running Championship taking place in Copenhagen.

Gill took on the 5k race on the Saturday afternoon, enjoying the atmosphere and excitement of race day as she represented Lostock on the streets of the Danish capital. Gill did an excellent time of 31:01, especially after not missing out on the opportunity to complete a parkrun in Denmark that morning.

On Sunday morning, it was Chris’s turn to take on the 13.1 miles of the Half Marathon. With a fantastic atmosphere, enthusiastic crowds and a scenic route through Copenhagen, it was a memorable challenge and a great experience. Chris completed the course in 1hr 52:32, amongst a competitive field, he even crossed the line alongside a GB Gold Olympic medalist, making it a memorable race to celebrate his 50th Birthday!

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.
