In the afternoon, the action headed over to Sefton Park, Liverpool for the first race in the The British Athletics Cross Challenge series. As well as being used as the European Cross Country Trials, the Mid Lancs League and another local league are invited to take part to increase the numbers, benefit from the high quality of the event and the exciting atmosphere.

Peter Huck of Barrow in Furness won the mens race in 30:28 finishing 16th in the overall event. Joe Greenwood was back first for LSARR in 35:33. Neil Tate finished in 39: 37, Graham Webster in 49:56, Terry Hellings in 44:42 and Greg Oulton in 52:59.
The seven Senior Women managed to make up full teams in the Open, V35 and V45. Lying in top spot of the WV45 before Liverpool and with a 7 point lead, the ladies hopefully did well enough to hold onto their lead.
In Sunday's bright unseasonably warm sunshine Preston's Moor Park had never looked better and provided a splendid setting for the Best 5K. One hundred and thirty-nine competitors including two from Lytham enjoyed the weather and an improved course. Oliver Hirsh, battling to recover his pre-injury standard, ran 21:33 for 30th place and Dawn Lock finished 132nd in 36:00 for first FV65.
On Lytham Green, it was the inaugural Movember 10k, Petr Martinovsky sporting a beard and mou
stache for the month finished in 42:43 and 15th place. Ruth Wheatley finished in 51:53 and 99th place.
Greg Oulton was back out on the fells for the David Staff Memorial Fell Race which started in Sunnyhurst Park in Darwen and headed up to Darwen Tower. Unfortunately due to work by United Utilities, the course had to be re-routed and ended up being closer to 4 miles instead of 5 miles with a much steeper climb at the start. Greg finished in 135th place in 44:29.
Last Thursday, saw the club's November handicap. There were many good performances with nine runners beating their target time, most notably Jeremy McCandless, Mark Selby, Alex Wiggins and Neil Tate who all ran PBs. However, it was scratch runner Dawn Lock who ran at her best to stay ahead of the rest of the field and merit a well-deserved victory while McCandless continues to comfortably head the overall annual points table with a lead of 59 points over his closest rival Wiggins.. For the others, the competition for the runners-up silver medal remains wide open with many still in contention.
Full results: 1, Dawn Lock, 46.12: 2, Greg Oulton, 28.00: 3, Derek Caborn, 30.20: 4, Mark Selby, 22.49 PB. 5, Jeremy McCandless, 30.51 PB: 6, Debbie Cooper, 27.24: 7, Karen Lanigan,34.09: 8, Alex Wiggins, 26.01 PB: 9, Graham Webster, 22.08: 10, Neil Tate, 21.42 PB: 11, Joe Greenwood, 19.46: 12, Julia Rolfe, 28.12: 13, Richard Storey, 25.35: 14, Tom Howarth, 22.28: 15, Pam Binns, 35.47.
