Barlick Fell Runners - November 2024

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.

Ripley Guy Fawkes 10 - 3 November 2024

Written by Graham

A change to tarmac this weekend for Sam who entered this race to join a few workmates who were doing this race. It is a ten mile race through lovely countryside with a few hills in it like the Birstwith Brute which is a never ending climb out of Birstwith. This may be the last time that this race takes place as it starts and finishes at Ripley Castle and although they have lived there since 1309, the Ingleby family have now sold it and it is not clear whether the new owners want to continue with the race. That would be a shame as it is a lovely race (for tarmac) on roads which see little traffic.
