This has been one of the classic races in the fell running calendar and it is good that some of our younger runners have been able to experience it before its demise. This race was held each year to commemorate the wedding of Wynn and Steve Cliff at Newlands Valley church on Saturday 20th April 1996. Sadly this year, Steve passed away passed away with motor neurone disease MND on 11th January. As a result, this will be the last time that this race is ever held. However, over the years, this race has been a great spectacle and has provided some great memories for both the participants and spectators alike.

Some great performances in this race by the 21 Barlickers who turned out and who were led home by Tom Corrigan who achieved a PB and a new club record. This together with the other first four Barlickers was enough to secure a 2nd team place for Barlick.

Whilst all eyes were on London, much nearer home, another marathon was taking place. Whilst the London runners were having to put up with the heat, on the two lap course at Blackpool, it was a case of fighting the head wind each time on the way out and putting up with very wet conditions for the first 9 miles. Cloey Mason took part and was placed 8th out of 179 women and was 2nd V40. It was her first sub 4 hour time.
167 Cloey Mason 3:53:19 (2nd V40).
