Richard Treitl did this 5 miles / 1001ft ascent race couple of years ago. He was 28 seconds slower this year. It was nothing to do with Richard's declining years, but was down to the significantly larger field holding him back at the start.
The race was won by Chris Donnelly of Sale Harriers in 37:18. Richard finished 170th out of 208 in 1:01:36.
Three Barlickers took to the roads this weekend in this race. All ran well and came away with 10 mile pbs. The race was won by Robert Affleck of Preston Harriers in 54.11. Lee Parrington was 1st Barlicker back in 56.13. Mark Holgate also had a good run and looks like he had a battle finishing 17th in 61.11, with James Tingle 20th and not too far behind in 61.37.
