Well done to all the Barlickers who turned out, as they made the effort to go to this far away race. They all ran really well and made their presence felt and are a great credit to the club. A special mention should go to to Jacob Reeday who finished 1st U12 boy. He ran a fantastic race, leading from start to finish. His lead was such that the gala announcer missed him coming in and thought the 2nd place boy was coming in first.
Lucille Pickles, who was 1st U12 girl, had a very strong run finishing high up the field,
Then there was Isaac Reeday, who was 2nd under 9 boy & Oscar Clayton, who came home 3rd U9 boy for his 1st ever top 3 finish.
They finished as follows:

5 Jack Villiers 22:28

There was some great racing from our juniors as they clocked up three first places, one second place and one third. A special mention should be made of Lucille Pickles who not only won her race, but she also came home in first place yesterday at Kirkby Gala.

Lots of Barlickers out in this race and were led home by Jonathan Cleaver for the men and Rachel Villiers for the women. A good effort by all the ladies saw them come home with the team prize. Knowing the man, it was perhaps not surprising that John Boothman turned out for this race, despite his incredible 108 mile run last weekend. Given that he has given his legs little time for recovery, he did remarkably well.

Richard Treitl was out in this 9.6m / 2700ft race and came home in 2hrs 17mins 49secs, finishing 94th out of 99 finishers. It was very hot with the temperature around 30o, so it was good to get all runners back safely.

A few Barlickers went over for this race instead of the usual pub run. It was a very pleasant setting and after the race, the prize giving took place in the local church where everyone could enjoyed a cheap pint of good draught ale. Andy Collins led everyone home with Carl Pawson in close persuit. Young Jack Villiers had a great race to secure a top twenty finish and last, but by no means least, Jacqueline Collins finished second woman and first F35.

Imagine training for and running in a marathon. Quite an achievement and great respect to everyone who has done it. But imagine running in four back to back marathons without a break. Then imagine a few of the well know fell races, such as Withens, the Lothersdale Fell Race or Pen Y Ghent. Then imagine adding in a few more hills that are part of the Pennine Way between Derbyshire and Hardraw and mix them all up and you have the challenge which John Boothman took on this weekend. One hundred and four miles of serious fell running with no sleep and just stops for sustenance.
John not only completed this, but he came second in the race. The winner, Michael Harrison, put in a tremendous performance. In the early stages, he looked as thought he might have gone off too fast, such was his lead, but he managed to keep up that blistering pace to the end. Behind him, by the time they reached the Cowling / Lothersdale area, John Boothman and Matthew Wilkinson were having a fair old tussle and it was nip and tuck between them both. But John had great determination and he pushed on relentlessly, so by the time they reached the summit of Pinhaw, there was a full nine minutes separating them.
Both ran on through the night up to Malham and then across Fountains Fell towards Pen y Ghent. After over twelve hours of running John made the ascent up the end of Pen Y Ghent as Matthew seemed to fall even further behind. From then on John seemed to dig deep and push on relentlessly until he reached the summit of Ten End from where he could see the town of Hawes and the finish just beyond at Hardraw. At that point, only a disaster, like crocking an ankle separated John from what felt like a famous victory, even though it was second place. Luckily, he descended at a fair pace, but managed to keep on his feet to go through the centre of Hawes and jog alongside the river up to the finish.
That was over thirty hours on his feet, apart from meal breaks and it says a lot about John's strong mental character, in addition to his incredible physical fitness. The times for the first three were:
1 Michael Harrison 27:45:02
2 John Boothman 30:33:34
3 Matthew Wilkinson 32:24:29
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
