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.

Tour of Pendle - 16 November 2024

Written by

 This is a tough old race which basically involves running round the top of Pendle and then repeatedly dropping over the sides and running back up again, which each climb tougher than the previous one.  Barlick as a club did well in this race with two finishers in the top ten which went a long way towards making Barlick the team winners of this race.

Harriers v Cyclists - 16 November 2024

Written by

Craig Shearer has gone through hell recently with complete lower back pain and loss of physical ability to train or race.  But he was born to to run and he finally got back to training and had his first run back after injury in this race.  With a show of grit and determination, he hammered out a third place against a good field.  Not a bad result after weeks of injury.

Coldwell 10 Mile Trail Race - 9 November 2024

After making his inaugural come back on 20 October, it didn't take Andy Collins long to clock up a race win, coming home ahead of team mate Ben Whitehead in this Barlick one-two.  For most of the race, the two ran together and it was only in the later stages that Ben dropped away.

It was a good day for the Collins family with wife Jacqueline coming home 2nd in the ladies race.

Wadsworth Half Trog - 10 November 2024

Written by

The conditions for this race are rarely good and this year was no exception.  There were the usual boggy conditions underfoot and the clag was also down which made navigating difficult.  Andy Berry had a good race to finish in 8th place, but the clag hindered him and he reckons that had he been a bit more familiar with the route, a top five finish could have been a possibility.

New York City Marathon - 3 November 2024

Written by
John trying to keep warm before the start

This year, the race became the world's largest marathon with 55,646 finishers.  John Boothman went over with friends and family to take part and here is his account of race day.

A 5.00 am wake up to catch a coach to the start on Staten Island where we had a very long and cold wait of approx. 3 hours. 
I met and buddied up with a great guy called Trent who was from Brisbane, Australia and was doing his first marathon. Great to share time and help each other get through the cold wait time.   Pictured wrapped in disposable old clothes and bin bags/foil blanket, I didn't move much until the sun came up taking the chill away.
I was in wave 2 thankfully getting going a lot sooner than many others. Trent's wave didn't set off until after 11 making his a very long day.
Once the sun did rise, we were fortunate to have a brilliant day, with the steep and long climb out from Staten over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge providing amazing views and I was lucky to be on the top deck.
Half of the runners are on the lower deck.
Our gang provided brilliant support at a couple of points along the route which was packed with thousands of spectators (apart from the bridges ) which were empty and quiet apart from the sound of feet.
As with most big city marathons, the crowd were super enthusiastic and noisy.
All went very well apart from the last two miles where again I struggled but did hang on to finish very similar time to the last one (York) a couple of weeks ago.
Central Park providing the finish venue and what a fantastic oasis this space is in the middle of a very mad place.
 
A couple more days in NY sightseeing rounded off a really good trip.
