A climbing day out for Andy Hirst and Lucas Payne as they ascended Pillar Rock in the Lakes.
Ex Claytoner Daniel Ashworth blitzed this race in 43:41 - five minutes ahead of the rest of the field. It is a tough race with lots of hills, but great scenery. The rapidly improving Nic Kendall had a top ten finish.

The race was won by Darren Kay, ahead of Lee Athersmith and Danny Hope, so some good talent at the front of the field. The Barlickers were led home by Chris Smale, who was first V50.

Well done to all those who took part.
Our junior training sessions have only been going for a few weeks, but they have proved very popular and regularly attract 25 to 30 youngsters. Some have already made the progression to racing, with a few turning out at Hellifield Gala and others at Boulsworth.
Expect to see more Barlick vests out in junior races in the future.

This race winds up the Pendle & Burnley Grand Prix Season which finished with a Barlick 1-2, with Tom Corrigan taking the honours of being overall champion with Marc Hartley runner up. In the ladies championship, Jennifer Hird finished 4th.
This used to be a cracking little race up to the summit of Buckden Pike from Cray, but with problems with the parking and issues at the time with the pub (yes, another one which did not like thirsty runners wanting to buy a drink), it was taken from the BOFRA calendar and subsequently run as a low key event. This is a shame, as this year, it only attracted 21 runners.
The race winner was Ted Mason, a previous race winner, who certainly knows the best line of descent from the top.
Of the Barlickers, the Peter Pan of fell racing, vet 50 Chris Smale, finished in third position ahead of the many youngsters in his wake.
First lady and first LV40 was another Barlicker - Angela Donlan.
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
