This was a junior relay with teams split into younger (6 to 10 years) and older (11 to 14 years).
The Barlick older boys won the event outright, but only just, finishing seconds in front of the older mixed team. The Barlick younger girls team also did well, coming home in second place and not all that far behind the winning team. There were second places too for our older girls and a third place for our younger mixed team. Our junior group did well in this competition and the team spirit that is growing within the group bodes well for the upcoming cross country season.
Ted Mason easily ran out the winner in this race in a time of 11:59 which was 44 seconds ahead of the second runner. We only had one runner in this race.

A great run by both Barlickers in this race. Wharfedale's James Hall and Barlick's Craig Shearer approached the summit together at the front of the race and at that point, there was nothing to separate them. However, on the return, James managed to open up a gap and he ran out the race winner, but these two were in a personal battle of their own and both finished way ahead of the chasing runners.
Only a little further down the field, another battle was going on and Andy Berry managed to split the Wharfedale pair of Fred Maier and Stuart Hunn to finish in 6th place.
