This used to be a BOFRA race which went up to Almscliffe Crag, but the Police eventually put a stop to it as crossed the busy A658 Harrogate Road. The race now takes another route, but is more of a trail and road race. An amazing feature of the race this year was that Antonio Cardinale was NOT last.

Andy Collins, Billy Haines and Stephen Shorrocks.set out on this challenging run around Snowden. The sting is in the tail of this race, as after 17 miles, you have to ascend almost 3,000 ft before doing a similar descent to the finish. Adam Fieldhouse led from early on and he never lost that lead. By the first check point, Andy was in third place and going well.with Stephen a couple of places behind him. Throughout the race the position of Stephen varied between 5th and 7th and he finally ran out in that position and finishing first MV40.
After briefly dropping to 4the position, Andy settled into 3rd position and baring a mishap, that looked like it would be his finishing position. However, on the final leg, Simon Jones, who had been steadily rising through the field, swept passed the 2nd and 3rd place runners to take 2nd place and pushing Andy down to 4th in the process.
Billy Haines adopted a different strategy from Andy and went off quite steady before moving up the field in the second half of the race to finish in 8th place. .
Andy must be disappointed that he did not have a podium finish, but nevertheless, it was a good performance from all Barlickers to have three finishers in the top ten out of 251 starters.

This is an old fell race which goes back to the Victorian era. It was common in those days for juniors and seniors to run together and with this race, that tradition has continued to the present day. Being a short up and down fell race, it favours the juniors and so it proved today. Will Pease, a very promising U13 junior took on all comers and managed to hold one of the Jebb family at bay to take the overall race win. In the women's race, it was again a junior who took the honours, with Under 13 runner Bethan Buckley leading them all home. In fact 6 runners out of the top ten finishers were juniors.
The weather was good for this race, which is why the show was moved from September and it was run in an nice atmosphere with many family members all taking part together. It also attracted runners from far afield and perhaps some were on holiday in the area.
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
