Junior training is held on a Wednesday night from 7pm – 8pm at Seedhill Athletics Track in Barrowford. We cater for 8 -16 year olds.
Training is run by Matthew Watson, Nick Treitl and Richard Treitl in partnership with Pendle AC. Although we are a specialist distance running club, younger athletes of primary school age will be coached in a range of track and field events. However, in the winter, training is mainly based around endurance running.
Older athletes can specialise in endurance running with Barlick club coaches or can specialise in other track and field event groups with Pendle AC coaches (please enquire for further information).
There is no charge for our coaching but there is a fee of £4.85 each time you use the track. Alternatively, you can pay a monthly fee of £12.99, to Pendle Leisure, for an Activo pass which will give your child access to West Craven Pool in Barnoldswick, Pendle Leisure Centre Pool in Colne, the pool at Pendle Wavelengths in Nelson and Seedhill Track in Barrowford. In addition, there are junior / teenage gym sessions at each centre covered by the Activo pass (please visit Pendle Leisure website for further information or ask in one of the Pendle Leisure facilities).
We offer a three week trial period, and should athletes wish to continue training after the trial period you will need to join the club and pay the annual club membership fee (see membership page for further details).
Please email Matthew Watson to check availability and with any enquires at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Training is outside year round so children attending will need to bring suitable clothing for the conditions including a waterproof coat and a drink.
Junior Competitions
We aim to develop our juniors to compete in a range of completions including the Red Rose Cross Country League through the winter and BOFRA fell races in the summer.
Athletes can also choose to join Pendle AC as well a Barlick and complete in a track and field league in the summer.

It was a lovely and sunny on Haworth Moor and perfect for a day's fell racing. Sadly only three Barlickers turned out for this club championship race, but some easy points for those who did.
Andrew Smith had a good run to lead them home in 39th place and was also first M60. Thel finishing positions were:

Lochness Marathon - 1 October 2023
Written by Graham
This is a picturesque marathon run through open country with Loch Ness to the side of you for most of the way. You would think that running near the Loch, it would be reasonably flat, but in fact, it is an undulating course.
Robert Cranham made his way up to Scotland for this race. When it started, it was raining (well it is Scotland), but he found it refreshing. After twenty miles of steady up and down, you come to a big hill, at which point Robert, as a fell runner, came into his own and made up a lot of places on those who decided to walk the climb. There were even a few shouts of "Barlick" from the crowd.
Robert finished two minutes outside of his PB for a marathon, but that one was very flat, so not really comparable.

It is Autumn again and it is off up the Lakes for this most challenging of relays. This race does favour the Lakeland clubs as they can so easily reccie their legs, whilst for everyone else, it is a special trip out. Not surprisingly therefore that five of the top ten cubs were based in or around the Lake District. Great credit must go to the two Scottish Clubs that also made the top ten.
The Barlick open team finished 14th, a position which they had hovered round for most of the race.
The Barlick ladies finished in 63rd place, which was actually 7th ladies team.
