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.

  • Seniors

He completed the challenge in 5hour 55 knocking 1hour 30 of the existing record - a fantastic achievement! 

Coniston Gullies was the setting this year for the first race in the BOFRA calendar and for many their first fell race since lockdown hit last year!

For those who are not aware during lockdown the club welcomed Matt Watson and what a fantastic addition he is to the club. 

At the weekend he raced the Endeavour 10K in Middlesbrough finishing a brilliant 4th place in a time of 31:28 and also first V40. 

Prior to this he had also shown great form at the Podium 5K finishing 13th in the B race in 14:37! Which saw him rank in the top 10 all time British men over 40's for 5K road, he is certainly one to watch! 

 

 

Wow - what a run from Lorraine Slater.  She has certainly not spent the past 12 months of lockdowns sitting by the fire.  This is a tough ultra race over forty five miles.  Lorraine finished 6th overall, not just 6th in the ladies race, out of a total of 93 runners.  Not only that, but she was just 3 seconds from coming home in 5th place. With a performance like that she naturally set a new course record.  Over the years, we have got used to seeing some great performances from Lorraine and this has been another one to add to that long list.

Further down the field, John Boothman and Mark Storey both had a top twenty finish. Cloey Mason finished 4th lady. 

In the shorter 30 mile race, Tim Pigott took the honours coming home in first place. 

 

 

A good day out for the Barlickers, taking first and third places in addition to first women's team and first mixed team.  That is before we get to mentioning first solo team. which was team Alex.

This was the first Ultra for Ian Cox and he was more than happy with the result, as he came home in second place, not all that far behind the winner.  Again credit must go to the organisers for putting on this event despite all the restrictions. 

The race organiser wrote a report of the event and this illustrates some of the headaches involved in putting on events at this time.

Race Report

2 Ian Cox 5hrs 25 mins.

You have to hand it to Trawden AC, during this epidemic, they have done their utmost to put on some racing.  This race is another fine example of the great job that they are doing.  Many will not be surprised to find that John Boothman turned out for this race, despite the fact that he took part in the 62 mile Hardmoors 60 last week.  His legs felt tired and he found it hard work, but he is pretty consistent in this race and he finished 36 seconds quicker than the time he recorded last year. 

On the road up to the windmills, he passed the only other Barlicker in this race, Mark Storey.  He had his arm in his back pack straps, having taken a tumble, but he braved it out and competed the race.

This is a tough 62 mile race which follows the Cleveland Way down the East Coast from Guiseborough to Filey.  Because of the Covid restrictions, this year runners departed in groups of six with a two minute interval between each group.  This made it difficult for runners to judge how they were doing overall, but at least it enabled everyone to take part in some competitive running. 

As you might have anticipated, both John Boothman and Cloey Mason were out there putting their bodies under tremendous strain, but there again, both doing well despite the lack of competitive racing for over six months.  Both managed to avoid injuries and both easily managed to avoid the cut offs.
