Because of the weather, this year, the race was not run on the traditional route, but on an alternative route that went up to The Stoop.
At the front of the field, it was a close battle between Tom Addison of Helm Hill and Tom Adams of Ilkley. On the run back, Tom Adams was in second place, but he looked like he was poised, waiting for his moment to take the lead. However, Tom Addison held him off to take victory by one second. Mark Addison of Helm Hill was third.
Five Barlickers entered the race and finished as follows:
13 Shaun Chew 42:58
41 Sam Wadsworth 46:06
81 Andy Berry 49:35
114 John Boothman 51:18
176 Derek Walkden 56:35
Ilkley Harriers were first team.
The day also saw the first Barlick junior out in a race. James Daggart completed the U12 course in 14:03. Not bad for his first race. (Picture in the gallery).
