John Boothman runs marathons in all corners of the circular globe, but one of his favourites is this marathon and this is the 7th time that he has run it.  The forecast was sunny spells and showers and the runners got all those with a hailstorm thrown in for good measure.  After the turn, it meant running into strong headwinds which slowed everyone down a little.  There was a super crowd out who braved the biblical hailstorm to cheer everyone on.

This was John Boothman's first race back in 2011 and he returned this year for a bit of nostalgia and his two daughters joined him for the run.  Angela went along too, so it was quite a family day out.

The weather forecast was not good, but apart from the odd shower, the rain held off and it was ideal conditions for fell running.  The race was once more won by Rupert Allison from Dark Peak who had a good minute lead over Matthew Heppenstall from Settle Harriers.  First home for Barlick was Ben Whitehead, who beat his last year's time to finish in 5th place.   Good performances by Dave Mirfield and Stephen Shorrock saw three Barlickers in the top ten.

What a night for the three Barlickers who turned out for this race as they all ended up as first in their respective categories.  Mark Horrocks in particular ran a blinder finishing in 11th place overall and first M60 by a country mile.  He also saved Robert Cranham from going wrong when he went heading off in the wrong direction. 

There must be something in the Horrocks genes as Lucy Horrocks also had a great race to finish 3rd woman and 1st FSEN.

11 Mark Horrocks 27:44 (1st M60)
20 Lucy Horrocks 28:56 (3rd Woman, 1st FSEN)

Both our teams finished in 5th place which was not bad considering that we had some runners out and others not fully fit.  It was good to see Sarah Bell back out in a Barlick vest and teamed up with Lucy Horrocks.  It was also good to see Jack Villiers representing the club in a team event.
