This race is on a hilly course and it saw Rachel Villiers have a great run to finish 1st lady, not far behind Scott Boardman. The ever improving Paul Elock showed that he is gaining stamina on the hills and the "running machine" John Boothman was not that far behind them all in 29th place.

Following his cracking performance in the Manchester Marathon, Ian has been picked as one of the Masters Athletes who will represent England in the Chester Marathon. What brilliant news for Ian and also for the club.
The Bunny Runs are quite unique. They are only three miles long and the juniors (over 12) run with the seniors. They are fast, which suits the youngsters, and it is not uncommon to see good fell runners struggling against such youthful competition. Although he is now a V50, Chris Smale still has a fair turn of speed and he led the Barlickers home. However, the short fast course course suited junior runner Jack Villiers who came home second for the club.

A few Barlick speed merchants turned out for the latest race in this series and they were led home by James Tingle. But look who was second for Barlick. . None other than young Jack Villiers who was out mixing it with the seniors and beating his mum into the bargain.

Richard Treitl was our sole representative in this race and he completed it in a time of 2:42:38, finishing 85th out of 90 finishers. He struggled in the afternoon heat, which was much hotter than predicted, which probably explains why his time was quite a bit slower than the last time he took part in this race, two years ago.

The ladies made the trip to Sutton in Coldfield today and did the club proud yet again. Both men and ladies qualified with their excellent showing at Blackpool two weeks ago. The men had 6 of the original team missing so it was left to the ladies to fly the flag.
Annabel Ralph got the team off to a great start finishing 29th on the first leg and the returning Sarah Tipler ran the fastest Barlick short leg taking back 3 places. Rachel Villiers was only 8 seconds off Sarah's time and pulled another place back and the team were 25th. Jen Hird then took over on the long leg and managed to only lose two places. Leanne Dinsdale pulled one back on leg 5 and Emma Bailey anchored the team home in 26th place. A quality result yet again from the ladies.

A great run today from Ian Livesey saw himself finish in 11th position overall and set a new club record for a marathon of 2 hrs 30 mins. Matt Lalor too got himself into a good rhythm and finished in the top twenty not far behind Ian. Further down the field Mark Holgate pulled a hamstring early on in the race, but to his credit he kept going to finish his first marathon. At his third attempt, Tim Pigott managed a sub 3 hour finish as did Dan Taylor who finished not far behind him.

The men for the first time entered two teams into the northern 12 stage. The A team was the strongest we've fielded but were still missing a couple due to injuries.
With this we were looking to break into the top 10 for the first time in the clubs short history. Tom Corrigan and John Whiteside got the mens team under way on the super fast 1st leg and both ran well. Tom ran the fastest Barlick long leg on the day against the big boys. The A team were 20th after leg 1 and the B team were 42nd. Marc Hartley started cutting through the field with the fastest short leg of the day and pulled the A team up to 12th, Dan Balshaw just recovering from injury lost a few places for the B team.
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
