John Boothman flew to the United States especially for this race and in his own words, this is how the race panned out.

Wow. What a performance from our girls. Three of them entered this race and they took the first three places. You cannot get any better than that.
And every Barlicker in this race was an age category winner.

It was blustery wind and thick mud for the second of the Bunny Run series, but those conditions seem to have suited Jimmy Craig who managed a faster time than last week and he took a comfortable first place. Andrew Smith always puts in a consistently good performance and he did so again by once more finishing 1st M60. It was also good to see new member Sarah Allen make this her debut race for the club.

A terrific run by Victoria Peel saw her take 2nd place in the ladies race and with it, she wins a medal in the Lancashire Fell Championships. Emma Taylor also managed a top ten finish.
The men were led home by Nick Treitl who was first Lancashire V40 and like Victoria, he took that prize in the Lancashire Fell Championships.
