2010-05-23MikeUpdates on Terry Dickenson and Stuart Swann Terry seems cheerful and positive, according to his wife Pat, and is to have another 'stent' input to his heart under 'non-emergency' operative conditions which sounds good !
Coach Stuart has had a pacemaker fitted and amazingly is on feet after a couple of days viewing our running efforts.
Interestingly both hospitals say that the level of fitness of both Terry and Stuart is a major factor to less damage occurring and the ease of operation and recovery of both patients....obviously there is a big benefit from being a runner !!
2010-05-23MikeLuke Betts and Ryan Sciacca took a trip to the Trafford arena to try their skills against the big boys in the 800m both having fantastic winning times of 1:59 and 2:08 respectively.

2010-03-31MarcoPlease can someone email me the club crest as I am still getting prices for club tops. I was looking at having a central crest on the front and Chorley AC on the back. Hoody tops seem popular & I have a local firm that can supply a very good quality red top with black hood inner, printed on two sides on 10 days delivery. Initial prices are just under £20, may be able to push for a further discount if our initial order is over 20 pieces. I can get sample for fit if we want to progress.
2010-03-29MikePerpetual motion man Phil McCullagh declined a rest weekend by taking on the 10 mile Ultrafit road race at St.Annes finishing 216th in 83:26 just outside the 80 mins hoped for. He was joined on this trip with a rare outing from Jim Munn Vet 75 who finished 348th(118:34). John Swift was 4th vet70 and Jim Munn 4th vet75 which is a staggering statistic re the increasing ages of the current running fields.

There are no official car parks at Leeds so it will all be 'on street' and with the numbers involved surely chaotic. I therefore suggest we take as few vehicles as possible and co-ordinate thro' Stuart and Barry Chester.

After being acclaimed as a great success in 2009, we are delighted to confirm that the Ironman Triathlon will be returning to Bolton this year on Sunday 1st August.

We are now on the look out for people to help with road marshalling duties and I am writing to ask if you would be kind enough to advertise on behalf of us. I realise that the event is still some time away and therefore you may not yet be in a position to confirm, but we would be delighted to hear from you if you think you might be able to join us.

As before, we will be producing full details of the marshalling duties nearer the time, plus supply tabards and any other equipment that may be needed on the day. We will also be providing goodie bags, which will include an official Ironman tee-shirt.

Between now and the big day we will keep you updated with developments and the latest news surrounding the event.
2010-02-17SimonBack by popular demand and 'cos we get bored on Sundays, there is a plan for a club run up Great Hill on Sunday. Meet at Brinscall Baths car park at 12:00. Run should take an hour or so. All welcome.

2010-01-06TerryIt is with great sadness that Chorley AC announce the passing away of ex Chorley AC runner Ken (Kenneth) Moss. Ken was one of the finest runners in the North of England competing at elite level for Chorley AC at national and international level. He lead the club to many glories and also represented World Runners at various distances from 10 mile to Marathon. When he moved to Cheshire he joined Vale Royal and then Northern Vets- as a veteran he was always within the first ten overall of any race outpacing many, many younger runners.
The running world will mourn this "gentleman" of running and the club extends their sincere condolences to all his family."

2010-01-04Mike CoppinIt is with sadness that we hear of the death of former CAC athlete Ken Moss on 29th Dec from kidney cancer. Ken was a longstanding & starting member of this Club before moving South to Vale Royal with his work. Ken was selected to represent England at the marathon a few times after winning the Versaille marathon and being 2nd in the Paris marathon but these occasions were always in hot locations such as Kenya, Australia & Japan and Ken did not like 'warm'. When running for Chorley he was a consistent race winner locally and won races such as Freckleton 5 or 6 times. There are probably still some of his records around. His parents live in Stump Lane, Chorley so he was always back visiting and would be seen in various local events with him still winning his category V55. His funeral is at St.Lawrence, Chorley on Wednesday 6th at 12:00 for anyone wishing to attend.

2009-10-08SimonI will probably not be at the Kendal race because my daughter has a footie match in Blackpool at the same time.
2009-10-08SimonI do not have the address for the Kendal event, but I do have these directions...
Leave the M6 at Jct 36. Take the A65 towards Kirky Lonsdale for about 500m and then "turn north at the first roundabout on the Kendal road. In about a mile, opposite the Crooklands Hotel on your right, turn left on the road towards Milnthorpe. The event is on your right just before the flyover over the A590."

2009-09-29MichaelJunior runner Olivia Christopher came 59th out of 111 runners at the Run Preston 2.5k race on Sunday 27th Sept. Olivia managed to finish the hilly course in 15 minutes beating her time from last year. Once again she managed to beat her Dad who trailed behind in 60th place!
2009-09-28TerryClub 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.
2009-09-28TerryIt 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).
2009-09-28TerryChorley AC runner Steven Wilde undertook his first marathon venture at Fleetwood on a rather warm day. He comfortably finished in 126th in 4:50:05 and achieved second vet55.

2009-09-21MarcoChorley 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

For both it was their first 5K; on a off road circuit which was basically the winter XC course (without as much mud). The winning time was about 23mins (slowed by the terrain and over 2000 runners and walkers blocking the paths!), and Anya finished about 5mins later (and probably in top 50) despite having to stop and take off her trackie bottoms after one lap (losing at least 1min and many places). Kath had never run up to 3 weeks ago, and still finished in about 33mins.

2009-04-06MikeThe Cross Country season for 2008/09 was wound up with the Mid Lancs. presentations at Bamber Bridge and Chorley AC athletes featured in the all categories , where 3520 competed throughout the season with an average of 587 runners per race.
The team event brought many accolades and rewards, where Chorley AC won silver medals and promotion to Division 2, which is promotion for two successive years, and demonstrates the strength in depth of the club. After leading for most of the season in most categories, the club was just bettered by Garstang on the 'discard' rule whereby the worst two results are "ditched".
It was even more bitter for the vet 40 team who again had led all season but were dropped to 3rd position by the discards of Horwich and Accrington. However the vet 60s , also achieved silver medal status where they had been second to Clayton-le-Moors all season.
The Chorley 'B' team came 11th in Division 4 and the vet 50s also 11th overall. Chorley medallists were :- Paul Wareing, Simon Townsend, Paul Bass, David Taylor, Jim Cosgrove, Barry Chester, Henry Minorczyk and Roy Paul. Henry Minorczyk also led the vet 60s gaining another silver medal along with Eddie Murray and John Swift. The valiant vet 40s who were just pushed into 3rd place were Paul Wareing, Simon Townsend, David Taylor, Jim Cosgrove and Roy Paul.

2009-03-23MikeRyan Sciacca, who has been a mainstay of Chorley AC's U15s this year, ran in the English Schools Cross Country Championships at Loughborough this weekend and produced an excellent performance.
2009-03-23MikeThe South East Lancs. Cross Country presentations for 2008/09 season saw an excellent prize winner for Chorley in Luke Betts who finished first in the U15s. However it could have been so much better as it was a frustrating experience for Sean Wareing in the U20s with two first places but unable to complete due to injury and also Tom Booth in the U17s who could of snatched a medal if persistent injuries had not robbed him of finishes. However 17 athletes ran for CAC with 7 completing the series with 5th Ryan Sciacca(U15s), 5th Les Paul(Vet 60), 6th Mike Coppin(Vet 60), 14th Paul Wareing (Vet 40), 20th David Taylor(Vet 40), 21st Michael Murray(Vet 50) .

2008-11-11Bob faircloughDear All, Kirkahm 10k 2009 As you are aware the life of a race organiser never gets easier. Having arranged the Kirkham 10k to avoid clashes with local races including Lancaster half, Hilton 10k and the Fleetwood festival I now find that the Fleetwood Festival has been moved to the same weekend as our Race. It has been decided by our committee to move our race to 23rd AUGUST 2009. Hopefully we will get no further surprises!!!!!! I do hope that you will feel able to support this local race which is run under rules and regs of UK athletics. Cheers Bob Fairclough.

2008-04-29KellyHey everyone-guess what.......i won the lancs heptathlon at wkend. Had a good run in the 100m hurdles-15.4, ok high jump-1.57m, shameful shot-8.11m, PB 200m 26.7, was leading after day one by 101 points. Then PB long jump 5.55m, awful javelin 17.99m and then 800m...........I WON...........2.37.5! It was like watching Kelly Holmes at the olympics-hung behind the leading 2 and took them just off the last bend! Its fair to say i was rather tired afterwards! eventually got 4151 points and finished 105 points clear of 2 sisters who train specifically for multis! hehe! bring on the track and field champs now! xxx
2008-04-28SimonChorley Athletic Club members are reminded that on Thursday this week is the second Inter Club race - this takes place at Lytham 1st May starting at 7.30pm. On Saturday 3 May the first of the Northern Men and Womens Track and Filed competition takes place at Oldham
2008-04-26stusorry i only read your message on sat morning but if you are running it tomorrow make sure you warm up well before ie jog for 5 min /then 5-10 min drills/ then at least 5 x 40mtr strides geting faster each time last one flat out about 8-10 min before start if you do not build up the heart rate befor the race will be a big shock to your breathing . take the first 600 in control so you can use your speed over the last 200 (does not matter then if you fall over the line ) good luck you deserve it
2008-04-25Miss MotivatorHiya peeps... as you may or may not know the northern league is coming up next weekend... i will put together a results sheet from last year for each event so all who attends can have a look at previous results on the day... i am hoping this will have a positive effect to all our self confidence and self esteem which may change our minds and enter more events! if we enter an A and a B athlete in most events we will be very successful, maybe move up a league and a night out after :)
2008-04-24KellyHey everyone not too sure if anyone knows but i'm doing the county multi events this weekend- which obviously means i have to do an 800m! I have never done one before so any tips would be greatly appreciated! xxx

2008-04-21SimonWell done Stephe and Jan. Sounds like a very hard but scenic run.
2008-04-21StepheOn the Trail again… April 19th brought round the start of the Lakeland Trail Series for another year and two Chorley AC athletes ventured up to Hawkshead for the opening event. The 15K event ranges through Claife Heights, woods, tarns, pleasant tracks along Windermere and then up the aptly named Coffin Track at 10K. Despite the chilly wind and lack of preparation Stephe Fletcher improved on his previous best time by 4 minutes to finish in 1:254:58 and placed 186 out of 590 finishers. Jan Pound overcame her continuing hamstring problems to finish in a credible 1:56:24. Earlier in April these two runners also competed in the Coniston 14. Stephe, struggling with a lingering injury problem finished within the top third in a steady 1:47:12 and Jan in similar fashion came home in 2:21:17
2008-04-18SimonSee Terry runnning the Great Wall of China here.

2007-05-16SimonInterclub, Penwortham Directions (I found these on the web): Take the A584 and the A583 to Preston. Shortly after passing the Lea Gate Pub on your left bear left following the signs for Southport. At traffic lights just before a bridge turn right along Strand Road and, ignoring signs to the bypass, go straight to the end of the road. Turn right to cross the Penwotham Bridge, turn next left. At the roundabout take the Leyland Road, the B5254, for about a mile. Then bear left on Factory Lane. Vernons Club is on your left.
