This race was first organised by Rev Andrew Proctor, the vicar of Kelbrook Parish Church in conjunction with a garden party held in the grounds of the vicarage, with the profits going towards church finances.
Later, the race became part of the Pendle & Burnley Grand Prix with a consequential increase in the numbers taking part and the vicarage garden party gave way to Kelbrook Gala The original race route went up Waterloo Road and on to Cob Lane before heading out on to the fells, but a new route was introduced in 2003 which took out the road sections and made the race trail and fell only.
Part of the race is over private land, so please do not recce it before race day, as this could prejudice the future of the race.

Shaun Chew decided not to to race this year and this left the field open for Nick Treitl to win the race. On the descent from the summit, the course was not flagged very well and Nick was heading in the wrong direction, but very sportingly, young Robbie Johnstone of Wharfedale pointed him the right way. Shaun turned up to return the trophy which he thought was for winning the race, but it turned out that it was not for the winner, but for the first Wharfedaler. The Barlickers finished as follows:
1 Nick Treitl 10:41
13 Dave Halliday 12:51
18 Michael ALEXANDER 23:05 New PB
59 Helen STEAD 32:43
67 Michelle HIRD 34:25 New PB
