It is also related to his late dad’s initials, Alan Clark, who died of cancer just over three years ago.
Calling for people to make suggestions for a name, Mr Clark, 41, said: “My dad was a forklift engineer like myself for most of his life and he was also a director of the company.
“My dad passed away from cancer just over three years ago. I used running as a coping mechanism to try and come to terms with my dad’s illness.”
After his dad died, Mr Clark said he then started the running club which has proved to be a real hit.

Cape Town â South African trail runners Christiaan Greyling and AJ Calitz have broken the Guinness World Record for the greatest vertical distance on foot, on Table Mountainâs Platteklip Gorge.
The pair beat the previous record of 13 ascents in 24 hours by completing a gruelling 14 ascents in 20 hours, with 19 376m climbed on Monday.
Greyling lives in Stellenbosch, and has won the Ultra Trail Cape Town 100, Skyrun 100, Otter trail 42. He also ranks in the top four men in the International Trail Running Association (ITRA) general classification in South Africa and 1st in the XL classification (90-100km with 5000m ascent).
ROAD Runner Carla Green galloped home in style and marked her return to “live” racing last Sunday with a superb performance in the Run Aintree half-marathon, winning the F45 age category award. Mrs Green, from Deganwy, claimed a new personal best (PB) time and was the third female finisher overall amidst a high-quality field of nearly 500 mixed entrants. She completed her run around a blustery racecourse route in just one hour 25 minutes and 52 seconds (1.25.52), confirming an amazing five-minute PB. This result also created a cause for family celebration, with her husband Martin finishing 3rd in the 5k race. A strong team from North Wales Road Running Club travelled over the border to England with nine athletes in the half-marathon, and two more in the 5k race. The event included “live” starts that were socially distanced due to Covid-19 restrictions. This option though remains in stark contrast to current Welsh athletic rules which still only permits virtual races.

This month sees students, parents and friends of the school, in the local community and further afield, come together to pay tribute to Westbourne’s teaching heroes. These are teachers who routinely go above and beyond their normal teaching duties – including providing unprecedented levels of support to pupils during the pandemic, both academically and pastorally; initiating new ways of thinking and learning during lockdown to help pupils thrive; and participating in initiatives outside school to help those in need in the wider community.
