Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

For this weekend, Garry Bailey, his wife Emma together with Scott Boardman went down to Wales where they camped over, having borrowed a tent from Pete Jackson.  After it rained, the tent was renamed "Leaky McLeakface".  

As for the race, it is the UK's toughest half marathon, with  a 1:6 gradient after 11 miles.  Scott and Emma ran it together and after injury, Emma finished 3rd lady overall and 2nd in category.

439 finishers.

Report by Stephen Chew

Well a good day which could have been so much better.  Firstly,  thank you to all the runners who ran and the guys that came in at the last minute, even when not fully fit.  All the runners do the club proud and it was great to get a full ladies team out and finish the race this year.  As you can see from the results, the club had a good solid day with the A team finishing 2nd for the 3rd year running.  That however is only half the story.  Any club with three men's teams in these relays has to find 36 runners and quite often, people have to be drafted in at the last minute.

In the men's A team, there were some great performances, especially from runners who were not fully fit, but turned out on the day to represent their club.  However, despite what was a great team effort, events on the day conspired against us and once more we were runners up to Calder Valley.

The B team also put in a cracking team effort and by Blackshaw Head were in 9th position, but they slipped later in the race and finished 13th.  The early details and finishing times are as follows:

1 Calder Valley 5:56:55
2 Barlick Fell Runners 6:04:34
3 Wharfedale Harriers 6:10:30
13 Barlick "B" Team 6:58:44
27 Barlick "C" Team 7:32:23
54 Barlick Ladies 8:20:39 (5th Ladies Team)

Further details follow.

This is a 10.5 mile race with 3002 ft of ascent
