2010-02-22	Mike Coppin	The following need to report for duty as entries have been registered for the National XC at Roudhay Park, Leeds(LS8.2ER for satnavs) - 14:00 Fergus Tallon, 11:00 Adam & Ryan Sciacca, Joe Ellison, Ben Ramsay 12:25 Luke Betts 15:00 Barry Chester, Eddie Murray, Henry Minorczyk, Phil McCullagh, Paul Wareing, Dave Taylor, Ian Walker, Rick Cordwell, Dave Kershaw & unwisely Mike Coppin. 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.
2010-02-22	Terry	Club Chairman John Payn was putting his race walking skills to the test in the "Ellis Trophy", a 15Km undulating race around Heapey finishing 6th overall in 1 hour 44 mins 40 secs.

2010-02-18	Robyn	IRONMAN TRIATHLON 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.
2010-02-17	Simon	Back 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.

2010-02-03	Simon	Since there are no races this weekend, we thought we'd meet up for a run at the weekend.

Anyone interested?

2010-01-07	Mike Coppin	Lancashire XC Champs - 9/1/10. There was a course inspection today and the races are still 'on'....in fact they said that the soft snow conditions were infinitely better than last years Sherdley Park mud! There will be another inspection first thing Saturday morning for a final say.
2010-01-06	Terry	It 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."
2010-01-05	Mike Coppin	At the Burnley XC on 19/12/09 a sum of money was found and handed in to Dawn Lock. If anyone thinks it might be theirs please phone Dawn on 01253.721514.

2010-01-05	Simon	Tuesday night training is cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, and Holy Cross High School is closed.
2010-01-04	Mike Coppin	It 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.
2010-01-03	Stephe	Jan DOES NOT require a lift for club on Tuesday. Neither Jan or Stephe will attend.

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."

2009-09-29	Michael	Junior 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!
2009-09-28	Terry	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.
2009-09-28	Terry	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).

2009-04-06	Mike	The 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.

2008-04-29	Kelly	Hey 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
2008-04-28	Simon	Chorley 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
2008-04-26	stu	sorry 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
2008-04-25	Miss Motivator	Hiya 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 :)
2008-04-24	Kelly	Hey 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

2008-04-21	Simon	Well done Stephe and Jan. Sounds like a very hard but scenic run.
2008-04-21	Stephe	On 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
2008-04-18	Simon	See Terry runnning the Great Wall of China here.

2007-05-16	Simon	Interclub, 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.
