Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

Auld Lang Syne - 31 December 2017

Today not only marks the end of the calendar year, but it also marks the end of an era.  After over thirty years or organising races, Dave & Eileen Woodhead have decided to call it a day.  Thankfully, Wharfedale Harriers have agreed to continue to put on this unique series of races and we are very greatful to them for that, but the absence of the dominant presence of Dave, barking out orders to the runners, will take some getting used to.  

Over the years, Dave & Eileen have provided lots of enjoyment to senior and junior fell runners alike and having now laid down the onerous burden of organising races, everyone at Barlick Fell Runners hopes that they can get out and enjoy the sport they have done so much for, without having to worry about the organisational aspect of it.  

Anyone turning out for this race can proudly boast that they have competed with British Olympic Gold Medal Winner, Alistair  Brownlee.  Having said that, once he took the lead in the race, he looked as though the rest would struggle to catch him.  Carl Bell, gave it a good go, but you always felt that Alistair always had a bit more in the tank, if he was really pressed.  

As usual, this race was full of the festive spirit with lots of imaginative fancy dress on show, including Paul Elcock & John Boothman.  Luckily Paul managed to bring home his ukulele (a Christmas present from his daughter) in one piece, despite having a fall on the treacherous muddy downhill section on the return.  The times for today were:

1 Alistair Brownlee 38:30
2 Carl Bell 38:46
126 Andrew Smith 59:49
135 John Boothman 60:44
190 Paul Elcock 65:22
262 Cloey Mason 71:46
