Young Harley Treitl was out on the fells today finishing the U9 race in 11th place in a time of 3:46. He was very enthusiastic and nearly jumped out of shot of Dave Woodhead's camera.
In the senior race, Andrew Driver finished a crowded week's racing by finishing in 11th position, in a time of 26:27, with Lee Edwards finishing in 31st position in a time of 31:17.
Just two Barlickers at this race. Their positions and times were as follows:
53 John Boothman 68:15
54 Glenn Whittaker 68:20
Earlier this year, John Boothman entered this race and not being one for wasting a paid entry, he turned up and took part in his fourth race this week (after Widdop, Eshton & Ingleborough) and prepared for it by attending a wedding do last night. Taking all of that into account, his time of 46:24 was not too bad, finishing in 523rd position out of 7,065 finishers.
Bingley Harriers had designed a brand new course for this race, but sadly on the day, it turned into a bit of a shambles due to horses on the course. The first problem occurred with horses after the first two runners had past a group of horses, when one of the riders lost control of her horse and it started rearing. Then to make matters worse, further on the course, there was a group of horses with someone leading them and they refused to let the runners past as they said one of the horse was injured and did not want to disturb it and apart from the leaders, this backed up everyone in the race. They reached some stables and everyone thought that she would take her horse into the yard out of the way to let the runners past, but when she did not do so, against her protestations, the runners went past anyway. However, by this time, the race, as a race was over as the leaders were completely out of sight.
The winner was Frank Beresford of Otley in 41:08 with Tim Midgley of Bingley in 2nd place in 41:18. Gavin Lund of Ilkley was one of those caught up in the horse shambles and he finished in 4th place in 43:28. Had it not been for the horses, he might have been pushing the leaders.
Sam Wadsworth finished in 6th place in 48:38. The delays probably did not make a great deal of difference to his race position, as he was still suffering from the effects of the Saunders last week.
31 Daniel CHEW 23:13 new PB
10 Rachel LOWTHER 23:44 new PB
11 Emma BAILEY 23:45
This is a low key out and back cross country race, in a beautiful setting and organised by John Thompson.
It is principally a race for Wharfedale members, with a few outsiders making up the numbers. The race was won by Sam Haggar of Wharfedale in 35:35.

Sam Wadsworth & Kirsty Hall entered this event in the Harter Fell Class. At the overnight stop, they were in 5th position and 2nd mixed team. However, on the second day, they were the 2nd fastest team and made up a few places to finish in 3rd place overall and 2nd mixed team. The winning man and daughter team of Fiona and Nigel Bunn were quite awesome and finished 1hr 20 min in front of the rest of the pack. The leading times were:
| Pos | Names | Cat | Day One | Pos | Day Two | Pos | Total |
| 1 | Fiona Bunn & Nigel Bunn | MIX | 3:32:03 | 1 | 3:08:17 | 1 | 6:40:20 |

139 teams set off on the 1st day and of those, only 106 completed the event.
Another Top Ten Finish for Screw
There used to be a race associated with Addigham Gala going up Addingham Moorside, but the building of the by-pass put an end to it. Ilkley Harriers have now put on a new race going up to the summit of Beamsley Beacon and is growing in popularity every year. This year, two Barlickers turned out, Andrew Driver and Pete Beresford. Pictures of both, courtesy of Woodentops are above.
The race was won by Simon Pass of Saltaire Striders in 43:41.

The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
