John Boothman was going to run in the East Lancs 10K, but when this was called off due to the weather, he went over to Haworth for this race. Again due to the weather, the course was changed to that of the Stoop. John had a decent run, finishing in 96th position in a time of 44:52. The winner was Tom Adams of Ilkley in 36:06, ahead of Simon Bailey and Ian Holmes.
Ian Livesey had a great start to the New Year by winning the Central Lancashire Half Marathon and he followed it up today with another cracking run, another win and another PB.
He won in a time of 1:11:50 knocking 56 seconds off his previous PB as well as showing a clean pair of heels to decent runners, Rob Danson, 2nd, Rob Affleck 3rd and Shaun Livesey 4th.
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
