Last Saturday saw a group of intrepid runners from Lostock travel to the sun-kissed Spanish town of Benidorm to participate in two highly anticipated running events - the Benidorm Half Marathon and 10k.

The contingent, consisting of 10 bold and ambitious athletes, set out with the intention of pushing themselves to the limit and achieving personal bests in their respective disciplines.

Located on the beautiful Costa Blanca coast of Spain, Benidorm provided a stunning backdrop for the weekend's festivities, with its sweeping beaches, crystal-clear waters, and picturesque mountains offering an exotic and inspiring landscape for the visiting runners.

As the starting gun fired, the Lostock runners eagerly joined the throngs of other competitors in a thrilling display of speed and endurance, taking on the challenging courses and delighting in the electrifying atmosphere of the Benidorm events.

The 10k course presented a short but sweet journey along the Benidorm promenade, passing through a scenic stretch of coastal road lined by a multitude of cafes and quirky souvenir shops, before leading the runners to a triumphant finish on the bustling Calle de la Esperanza.

Meanwhile, the more arduous Half Marathon was an unwavering test of willpower and stamina, featuring a grueling climb into the hills surrounding Benidorm and providing an opportunity for the competitors to demonstrate their mettle and overcome the physical and mental challenges presented by the demanding terrain.

Throughout the weekend, the Lostockers proved themselves to be consummate ambassadors of their home town, warmly embracing the unique and infectious Spanish culture, forming lasting friendships with their fellow competitors, and contributing to the festive spirit that pervaded Benidorm.

With numerous Lostock runners achieving impressive results and significant improvements to their past performances, the group’s experiences in Benidorm represent a truly unforgettable trip and an inspiring testament to the unwavering spirit and perseverance exhibited by the Lostockers both on and off the track.

Already looking to future adventures, the 10 hardy runners returned home on Sunday as heroes, tired but exhilarated from their Benidorm odyssey and already turning their thoughts to their next exciting encounters.
