Where were all the Barlickers this evening, as only two turned up for the pub run? Ian Livesey & Scott McCredie.
Ian is still recovering from his London Marathon but that didn't appear to affect his off-road running; very impressive from someone who just 4 days earlier ran 26 miles in 2:33:27.
Scott has only just started fell running but he didn't wane on any of the ascents, in fact, he took them easily in his stride; watch out for this guy on the fells in the coming year.
It's perhaps a good job that Andy Holden of Wharfedale Harriers turned up to join the run as the other two did not know the area.
He took them on a route via Little Newton Farm, up towards Crake Moor, then returned via the summit of Newton Moor, the turning point in the Hellifield fell race, about 5.5 miles.

Three Barlickers entered the biggest Marathon in England and once again, came away with some cracking times. Ian Livesey, running his 3rd Marathon this year ran, 2.33.27, showing once again his quality over his favourite distance. With Chris Singleton losing his pb due to the Manchester Marathon being outed as a short course this week, Ian is now the club record holder. 2nd in and running his 2nd Marathon this year was Gary Shaw. Gary nearly pulled out 6miles in due to blisters, but showed grit and determination to finish in 2.44, which is still a great time. Mark Sandamas won the club ballot at the presentation evening and vowed to put it to good use. He's clearly been putting in the training as he looked lean and mean. Touching 50, he put in a great performance and came away with a pb of 2.46. All three enjoyed the unique atmosphere that London provides. Livers will no doubt be looking to go sub 2.30 in the future.

Andrew Chew and Emma Bailey took part in this hilly road race, both getting a pb. Andrew was 3rd and Emma was 4th lady. Prizes were a bottle of wine and a scarecrow. It was a fantastic event and well organised, with the village decorated in scarecrows for their annual festival.

Great night for the club at this event with the men's team taking first place and the women taking 3rd. Not all the times were available on the night, but the full set of provisional results, showing the times where available and all the positions, are below. Sorry about the quality of some of the pages.
Harley Treitl ran in this race and finished 64th out of 72. He was in the top 10 on the way out, but fell badly on the return and struggled to get going again. He did well to finish, although covered in cuts and bruises.

Richard Wadsworth had his first run out since taking part in the Hellifield Gala Race last year. He set off very steadily, but still managed to record a half decent time. Graham Wadsworth won the guess the time of the first V50 competition and was also awarded the first V70 prize, even though he was the second in that category to cross the line as the first one took a short cut at the end.
