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.

  • Seniors

Kings Challenge - 8 August 2024

Written by

Craig Shearer set off on this race like he meant business, taking an early lead.  He maintained this lead up the hill out of Silsden and right up the Nab on to the moor top.  He was going well and looked like he was going to completely boss this race.  But, being out in front means that you have to know where you are going and on the moor top, he went astray.  To get back on track meant climbing a gate covered in barbed wire and once back on course, he found that he had lost his leading position.  At this point, he was very annoyed with himself for throwing away a lead which he had worked so hard to achieve. Everyone is different in how they deal with such a situation.  Some people just give up thinking that they have thrown away the race.  Craig could have been forgiven for taking such an approach as the race leader was now Andrew Cairns of Wharfedale and he is no slouch when it comes to fell running.  But Craig turned the anger with himself  to his advantage.  He was so furious that he put that fury to work and chased Andrew down and once more took the lead, so that by the time they came to descend the Nab, he had built up a lead of several seconds.  One tends to think of Craig as a bit of a speed merchant on a good surface, but not  particularly fast on descent on the fells, but he came down the Nab so quickly that he could have given Ted Mason a run for his money.  When he reached the lane at the bottom of the Nab, he had built up a lead of ten seconds.  But from then on, the surface suited Craig and in the end, he ran out a comfortable winner, by almost a minute. It was nice to see Craig take the honours, but he had to work really hard for it.

Next home for Barlick was Julian Hood, who finished in 6th place and first M40.  He seemed to have had a good race, although he, himself was a little bit disappointed with it. He was shortly followed by Jethro Whitfield in eighth place who was reasonably satisfied with how he had performed.  

1 Craig Shearer 43:01
6 Julian Hood 46:18 (1st M40)
8 Jethro Whitfield 47:27 (2nd M40)
24 Robert Cranham 52:01
54 John Boothman 1:02:33 (2nd M60)

Whittle Pike - 7 August 2024

Written by

Young whippet, Joe Ormrod, once more showed the field the way home and our own Tom Corrigan had to accept that no matter how fit he is or how well he is running, there is no way that he can compete with a talented runner half of his age.  However, still a great run from Tom to take second place and 1st M40.  

Sam Horrocks also put in a good performance to finish in eighth place comfortably beating his brother who finished tenth.  Was there a bit of sibling rivalry going on there?

2 Tom Corrigan 47:25 (1st M40)
8 Sam Horrocks 52:07 (2nd MSEN)
11 David Poole  53:28
14 Andy Berry 54:45

The Barlick men finished 2nd team behind Rossendale.
