It is all nip and tuck at the top of the Pendle & Burnley Grand Prix table. After his defeat by Jimmy Craig in the Burnley Boys 5K, Marc Hartley bounced back to take this race and maintain his position at the top of the table.
In the ladies race, Sarah Tipler maintained her grip on the top of the table place by notching up yet another win. The provisional results show a female runner as finishing in 11th position, but this does not appear to be correct and will no doubt be corrected later.
Further down the table, Emma Bailey had a good run to finish just behind Rachel Lowther and it was nice to see Paul Fryers out in a race. As for James Stead, after the challenging run last night at Stirton, it was amazing to see him get a PB.
The positions for all the Barlickers was:
1 Marc Hartley 15:38
3 Jimmy Craig 16:10
7 Nick Treitl 16:54
19 Andy Berry 18:14
29 Sarah Tipler 18:53 (first lady)
43 Derek Walkden 19:44
73 Richard Starkie 21:27

104 Rachel Lowther 23:22
