Last year, the top three finishers were Tom Adams, Simon Bailey and Rob Hope, in that order. Those same three names were in the top three again, but in a different order. Tom Adams led the field out and he looked as though he was once again going to boss it. On the return, he was still leading on the track coming off the moors, but Rob Hope was up with him and you had to wonder if he was playing a tactical game and just waiting to pounce. This year those two were way ahead of Simon Bailey who was in third place. When it came to the run in, it was Rob who came out the better of the two, taking victory by 8 seconds and setting a new course and V40 record.
Andy Berry had a good run for Barlick, coming home in 23rd place in a field containing a lot of good runners with Dave Halliday in 132nd place.
Hannah Newbold had a good run out and appeared to be going very easily on the run in off the moors and looked very clean despite her face plant in a bog after the second descent.

We had a few juniors out in the Quarry Runs.The under 10s to U16s all ran together and that is how the results appeared. We have tried to sort out category positions on a provisional basis, but these may be subject to error.
