Record holder Tom Brunt returned for a third time to take on this race and before the off, the conjecture was whether he would finish under two hours. The conditions on the top of Pendle were cold, wet and very windy and were not ideal for record breaking times. Perhaps things might have been different had Tom been uinder pressure from the other runners. As it turned out, Tom had a comfortable win over Martin Hurst from Pudsey & Bramley who was closely followed home in third place by Max Wainwright from Helsby RC.
There was only one lady in the race this year and she was Helen Buchan of Calder Valley and she finished in 22nd place overall in a time of 3:26:38.
More photographs of the day will be added to the web site shortly.

When Gary Bradley posed for this pre-race photo along side Karen Nash, it probably never occurred to him that she would romp home in front of him with two hours to spare!!
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
