This is a hilly 10k with the race starting on the track at Witton Park, then out round the outskirts of the park and finishing back where it started. The first 3k are uphill then the course flattens out before one more hill on a hairpin and then you drop back onto the flat paths within the park. Rob Danson of Wesham led the field home followed by Tim Raynes of Blackburn Harriers. We had two runners in the top 10 with Lee Parrington in 8th and Dan Balshaw 9th.
1 Rob Danson(Wesham) 33.45
8 Lee Parrington 36.34
9 Dan Balshaw 37.12
This race was won by Tom Cornthwaite of Salford Harriers in a time of 33:33.

Lee Parrington is one of our runners based in Carnforth and he made the shortish trip to Birkrigg in the South Lakes, for this Kendal Winter League Race. These races are similar to those organised by BOFRA in the summer and are often straightforward out and back races. This one was straight to the trig and back. Former British Champ Tom Addison led the field home in 19.59. Lee had a good solid run finishing 9th in a time of 22.36.
Tom Corrigan and Chris Singleton have both been selected to run for Lancashire in the inter counties cross country championships on March 12th. Tom has improved beyond all recognition in this last year and has been rewarded for his hard work after his 16th place finish at the Lancashire Championships. Chris Singleton has had a great week following his international ultra vest. He now has his second call up for Lancashire after representing the county on the fells last year.
This is a 6K run, a 16K Mountain Bike and then another 6K run. Three Barlickers took part.

Chris Singleton last year stepped up to the Ultra distances and did so with distinction winning 2 races, the first being his 1st ever ultra outing at Howarth Hobble. As well as competing on the road where he set the club record for the marathon and cross country, picking up his first Lancashire vest, he has added an England vest to his collection. He has been called up to run in the Anglo Celtic Plate, which is a race run over either 50k or 100k. It's a great achievement and well deserved for his hard work and dedication to his sport. It's even more impressive when you realise he has 3 young children, as well as having a very good athlete for a wife in Christina Singleton who runs for Trawden AC.
