A good turnout from our juniors for this night event.. There were some great performances all round with a few notching up first places. The Under Nine race was interesting. The first four places were all taken by girls, so Harry Driver finished 5th overall, yet he won the boys race. Is this a sign of things to come? It was good to see Oscar Clayton take a podium position in this race.

This race was won by Elite Runner Alberto Vender from Italy in a time of 1:06:41. Italy had three finishers in the top ten and as a result took the team prize.
Given that there were so many Elite Athletes in this race, Tim Chadwick came home in a respectable 77thd place and even Richard Treitl left over sixty runners in his wake even though he was disappointed with his race. No good views on the day, as the summit was enveloped in cloud. The Barlicker's times and places were:
77 Tim Chadwick 1:25:23
513 Richard Treitl 2:13:15
The race winner was Rhys Findlay-Robinson of Dark Peak in a time of 3.59.55. The Barlickers finished as follows:
54 Ben Hoyle 5.34.45
80 John Boothman 6.04.24
83 Gary Bradley 6.07.53
87 Jack Ingham 6.09.42
There were 107 finishers out of what must have been 180 starters.

Six Juniors made the trip up to Scotland for The 162nd Alva Games. With the hot weather lately, it made a very steep race even more trickier as the mountain was very dry and dusty. A few pre race nerves after the recce soon disappeared as a brilliant run from Harley Treitl brought him home in 2nd place. A few worried looks before the start didn't stop Lucille Pickles storming home in 7th place after a fantastic run, to take the 1st girl prize. Next in for Barlick was Jody Whitfield finishing 4th girl, just missing out on a spot on the podium. Evie Scott made the small trip from Dunblane to represent her hometown club once more, to finish 7th girl after going nearly 8 months without a hill race. Lily-Grace Clayton rounded off the girls with a great effort to finish 9th girl, followed by her brother Oscar Clayton, who put in a fantastic effort to finish 29th overall after been unable to get up the hill on the recce.

Welcome back to Virgil Barton who was the only Barlicker in this championship race. He celebrated his return to the club with a very creditable performance, finishing 44th out of the 201 finishers in the men's race.

This is a tough challenge. It is 40K of mountain terrain with 3,000 meters of ascent and it was a quite incredible run from Luke Maude to complete the course in just over five and a half hours.
