Club coaches Stuart Swann and Jan Mayor tackled the Great Langdale in the Lake District for their first marathon. This scenic hilly course is the province of seasoned marathoners and ultra runners, indeed many in the race have run over a 100 marathons each. They finished in 95th & 96th one second apart in 5hrs 58min to a huge cheer and welcome from all the other finishers and spectators. John Swift celebrated turning 70 by producing a star performance to finish in 73rd place (4:52:42) winning the vet70 prize. Jan Mayor was also 2nd lady vet50.

It is unusual in fell running to start a race at the top of a hill and then run down and back up which is what happened at Blackshaw Head in the last of the Inter Club fell clashes!
Chorley AC's team saw Dave Kershaw finish in 34th(49:04), Jonathan Betts 45th(53:36) with an excellent run despite a slight injury, Henry Minorczyk 50th(55:41), Stuart Swann 70th(65:39) and Mike Coppin 78th(79:39).
Henry Minorczyk was 2nd vet60 with Dave Kershaw and Stuart Swann achieving 6th in the V50 & V60 categories. In the Inter Club competition Dave's 3rd place supported by Jonathan and Henry's 7th & 8th enabled Chorley to gain 2nd place to Wesham overall, were 3rd in the vets but 1st in both the vet50s and 60s teams.
In the overall series Chorley came 3rd as did the vets and vet50s but convincingly won the vet60s where Henry Minorczyk was the clear winner. Paul Bass was 7th, Henry 11th, Dave Kershaw 15th, Jonathan Betts 18th with Stuart Swann & Mike Coppin 26th & 27th(4th & 5th vet60s).

Chorley AC held its own against some of the biggest clubs in the North West this weekend.
The North West Road Relays was very well attended with all counties entering a number of teams across all age groups.
We entered an under 15 team that after a number of time trials was made up of Ryan Sciacca running the 1st leg, Adam Sciacca running the 2nd & Ben Ramsey running the 3rd. As predicted the boys ran a consistent race, holding their own agains some of the fastest power of 10 athletes in the North West. In the overall competition Cheshire stole the win running a very fast confident race. Our boys came a very credible 5th overall and gained the Silver Medal in the Lancashire competition being piped to Gold by 1 second by Preston. Very rough times for the boys were: Ryan = 9.48, Adam = 10.17, Ben = 10.44. Well done to everyone. I will keep my eye out for the official times

Chorley AC's Chairman, International Race walker, John Payn devastated the field in the 30K British Masters Race Walking Championships held at Warwick University.
In very warm conditions John led home competitors to take Gold yet again in a very creditable time of 3 hours 48 mins.
John felt he could have gone faster but was happy just to take gold given the conditions.
