It was a pleasant sunny evening for this race, maybe a bit too warm for ideal running conditions, but it nevertheless attracted 218 entrants.
The race was easily won by Chris Holdsworth who built up a good lead on the ascent and he ran out an easy winner. He was followed home by Tom Corrigan, running his second race in two days and he too had a comfortable lead over third placed Adam Wale. With four runners in the top ten, Barlick easily won the team prize.
In the ladies race, Laura Hesketh had a long lead over the chasing pack and took the honours without any difficulty. It was good to see Jacqueline Collins get rewarded for all her recent hard work by taking third place and she was closely followed home by Lucy Brown. Rossendale won the team prize.
The Barlickers finished as follows:

The pub run will be from the Red Lion at Earby. Be there for a 7:00 pm start.
For anyone who fancies racing, the Lothersdale Fell Race takes place on the same evening with a start time of 7:15 pm.
It was a very pleasant day out on the fells, although maybe a bit warm for the runners. The race was won by Oli Murphy who built up an early lead and never looked under threat even though there were good runners in his wake. Leading Barlick home was David Mirfield with a top five finish followed by Ian Cocks who just got pipped to a top ten place.
Again our girls put on a good show taking positions 3,4,5 in the ladies race.
It was nice to see the club having some runners in the junior races and their details can be found on the Junior Website

This is a seven and a half mile race over road, bridleway and footpaths with deceptive undulation and offering some fine view over Calderdale & Kirklees.

John Boothman completed his second marathon in a week and Raymond Banks put in a great performance in the V70-74 category.
This is John's account of his day.
It was very cold pre race but thankfully dry. The cool temperature was a bonus once we got running. The pace was perfect and I was really enjoying the support along the route. As I rounded the corner to go over Tower Bridge, the crowd was massive and very loud. Right in the middle of the bridge, with no warning, I felt a painful twang in my right calf and was immediately in pain and limping badly. I stopped and took some pain killers and applied some ibuprofen gel then set off at a very steady hop. The pain subsided once the meds took effect but I limped the rest of the way to the finish. Another amazing experience and great to have family support along the route although I think they worked harder than me battling the crowds. Then straight back to change and off to see ABBA Vantage which was amazing, then out for a meal. A full on day with family and friends. What could be better?
