145 runners turned out on an overcast Wednesday evening for the last race of the season, with a number completing race number 14 of 14. Jimmy Craig took the honours in 22:31, followed closely by youngster Joe Hopley of Rossendale, who is defiantly one to watch out for in the years to come, and Lawrence McCourt in third. For the ladies once again it was Hannah Jarvis who crossed the line in 22nd, 1st lady, Sarah Bell dusted off her racing vest to take 2nd and Liz Ensor took third. Team prizes went too Barlick for both the mens and the women's prizes with Jimmy, Smurf and Ben making up the mens team and Sarah, Laura and Molly the ladies.

The penultimate race in the Pendle and Burnley Grand Prix league saw runners make their way over to Barlick to take on what many describe as the hardest race in the league, Weets. A damp start to the morning soon cleared as 129 runners made their way to the start line.
A quick check to see if anyone had misplaced some keys and the race was off with Gary Priestley taking the lead and maintaining for the whole race, with the battle on for 2nd and 3rd. Up and coming runner Alex Mason was looking comfortable in 2nd with a strong lead over current Grand Prix leader Jimmy Craig however towards the latter end of the race Craig found his feet and managed to pull past Mason to take 2nd. In the ladies race Hannah Jarvis took the honours in a time of 47:02, followed by Wharfedales Liz Ensor and Molly Ralphson just over a minute behind.
The team prizes this year went to Rossendale for the men and Barlick for the ladies.
The final race in what has been a jam-packed grand prix series for 2021 is Kelbrook on Wednesday a short 3.4 mile race with 700ft of ascent.
Another outstanding performance by Jimmy Craig. He decided to take the initiative and took an early lead, but he was being pressed all the way by Jacob Watson of Blackburn as they ran the first loop past the Alma. To those watching, the question was; would he be able to maintain that lead? It seemed like an age before the runners came into view again and this time, Jimmy was well and truly in front with a thirty second lead as the came down the hill from the Alma. It was a big ask for Jacob to close that gap and that was how it finished, with another first place for Jimmy.
Just two more races to go and with performances such as this, Jimmy has got his sights on being this year's Grand Prix Champion. Let us hope that he stays injury free for this last cluster of races.
