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.

Wasdale - 8 July 2017

Report by John Boothman

 I have to say it was a big day.  We left at 7.15, about 2.5 hour drive, then near 6 hours running and then the drive home.  It is the toughest race I have done to date. Stephen Shorrock set off well but the distance and climb took its toll and he lost time in the second half but still finished first Barlicker.

I managed to hold Lorraine off for most of the race, but cramps set in & she came past me on the last climb putting about 100 mtr on me by the summit of Scafell Pike.  I managed to pass her back on the rough descent & I was just ahead by the last checkpoint which was only about 600 mtr from the end but the running got better and I couldn't hold her off. Gary Bradley had a solid run coming in not far behind us. We all concluded we need more training for a race of this difficulty - 21 miles and 9000 foot of climb/ descent on tough going terrain. A great day out which we all enjoyed and feel a great satisfaction doing it. A big thanks to Katie towers and Ste Plummer who walked to two summits to support and take supplies for us. 

The race was won by Carl Bell in 3:40:53  The four Barlickers finishes as follows:

130 Stephen Shorrock 5:43:45 (53rd MSEN)
148 Lorraine Slater 5:52:22 (4th W45)
153 John Boothman 5:52:53 (12th M50)
200 Garry Bradley 6:19:26 (22nd M50

233 finished & 51 retired which show shows the severity of this race
