Marc Hartley is living down in Crewe where he works as a teacher, so took on his local 5k. He won the race comfortably in a time of 16.05. Moving in the right direction in time for the 6 stage road relays in September.
Mark Holgate and Lee Parrington both had solid runs at the Lancaster 5K on Saturday. They finished 13th and 14th, with times of 16.53 and 17.07 respectively. Looking good for the forthcoming cross country season.
Five Barlickers and three Trawdeners made their way to Derbyshire at the weekend to take part in a 24 hour endurance race. The team was a mixed team of 8 with every member having to complete at least a lap of the 10k cross country course. The race kicked off in earnest at 12 noon on Saturday and team Fastrax soon got into the swing of things and after leg 4 held a slender lead. It was a lead they never relinquished over closest challengers Luton AC. In the end the team broke the course record running 36 laps in the allotted time and winning by two laps.
Four Barlickers in the top ten and Paula Clark leads home our ladies

Elle Honeyman also entered the race, but she tripped at the start and was trampled by the rest of the field. By the time she realised what was happening, they were half way up the hill, so there was no point in her starting. This was a shame as it was nice to see he out in her new Barlick shirt.
Des Walkden took part in the Half Marathon and reports on his day as follows:
Competed in The Pendle Family Running Festival Road Half Marathon, a tough 1800 ft of climb run around Barley / Pendle Hill. The event was very well organised by Molly Ralphson (Trawden) and run around the beautiful setting of Barley. Only a small field of 63 entered this first year. I finished 15th in a time of 1.47.27. A good warm for Hendon Brook next week.
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
