The conditions were perfect this year for this race. The course was bone dry, it wasn't too hot so fast times were expected. However, the record set by Andy Norman in 2006 stays in tact. It is a ridiculously fast time and sets a serious challenge for the future. It was Mark Addison who took the win in a good time, being chased home by Matthew Hobbs of Pudsey. Of the locals, Nick Treitl continued his comeback with another good run just in front of John Whiteside. Julian Hood was 5th thus bringing home the team prize for Barlick.
The ladies race was won Holly Page from Calder Valley, with Sarah Tipler taking second place. Third was the ever improving Rachel Villiers. Laura Craig came 7th so the Barlick ladies took the team prize.
Other notable performances on the night were 1st vet 50 for Chris Smale, 1st lady 65 for Jean Rawlinson and excellent performances from Jenna Boothman and Jack Villiers.
Thanks once again to the marshals, volunteers and Earby Cricket Club for holding the presentation.

More & more juniors are now graduating from training to racing and this experience is beginning to be reflected in the results. In the U9s, George Fitzpatrick finished 3rd with Chloe Boothman finishing 2nd girl and Evie Scott 3rd girl. The U11 race saw Harley Treitl put in a determined performance to dominate the race and come home the race winner. The U13 race saw Jenna Boothman finish 2nd girl and the U15 race was a ding dong battle all the way through between Jack Villiers and Eric Beaumont of Keighley & Craven, with Jack just managing to keep his nose in front at the finish and take the honours. This was great racing from both youngsters.

This race saw Stephen Chew back in the fell race scene where he came up against Jack Smith, a regular winner of this race. Steve gave him a run for his money, but in the end, younger legs prevailed and once more, young Jack took the honours. It was quite a race, in that whilst Steve was trying to chase down Jack, his team mates were chasing him and he finished just ahead of Nick Treitl and John Whiteside. Barlick dominated this race in that the club secured five places out of the top ten finishers, with Carl Pawson narrowly missing out on joining that group.
The ladies race saw Sarah Tipler return to the fells to win the ladies race by a comfortable margin. After her gruelling performance in the Three Peaks race, Leanne Dinsdale put in a surprisingly good performance to finish second woman, making it a Barlick 1-2. Further down the field, it was good to see new runners Victoria Peel and Donna Milligan out on the fells and with more race experience, these girls will only get better.
Our youngsters are now becoming more comfortable with racing and today saw them take 3 first places. Bella McCredie was first girl in the U7 race, Lucille Pickles was first girl in the U11 race and Jack Villiers won the U15 race, and not only did he win it, but he won it in style, with a comfortable win over Michael Stevens of Clayton. This makes it two wins for him his week. Jacob Reeday also had a good run to finish 2nd in the U11 race where he was actually the first U9 runner.

A terrific run by Steven Snape saw him run out an easy winner in this first of the Grand Prix series. On the ascent, he had a huge lead and although Danny Collinge tried to chase him down on the return, there was never any danger that he would end up being the race winner. Of the Barlickers Julian Hood ascended well and on the approach to the summit was lying in 4th place with John Whiteside just behind him. However, Julian faded on the descent, whilst John kept his place to lead the Barlickers home. A good run by David Poole saw him finish in 8th position and secure Barlick the men's team prize.
In the ladies race, once more Rachel Villiers once more demonstrated that she is a good performers in all disciplines of running and finished 3rd lady and 2nd WV35.
