This race saw a first win for Robert Cranham and is a reward for all the effort he has put in to training. He made a decision some time ago to go out for a run everyday, even if he had raced the previous day and that dedication has now paid off.
This race was one of a mixed set of races and all runners started together. As a result, in the first stages of the race, you had no idea of how well you were doing, as some people were only running 10K. Robert was chasing the runner in front, when that runner suddenly turned off onto the 10K course. In a flash, Robert found himself in the lead. Then a schoolboy error caught up with him. His laces became undone. He always ties his laces in double knots before a race, but today, he forgot to do so. He stopped to tie his laces, but his hands were cold and he was wearing gloves which he had to remove. Whilst he was fiddling about with cold hands to try and tie his laces, he was passed. When he started running again, it took him two miles to regain the lead. Once in front, he did not let up and kept pressing on, even towards the end, when he was no longer under any pressure.
It was an early start for this race (8:00 am), but well worth getting out of bed for.

Burnley Park Run - 21 October 2003

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.
