Buckden Race Pictures

There was a great turnout from Barlick for this event and the club fielded eight teams, including three ladies' teams.  The official results are out and can be viewed from the links below.  The club did extremely well - how well depends on how you interpret the results.  The first team home was One man from Belmonti.  However, it was made up of runners from different clubs.  Because of that the first team prize went to Horwich, whose team comprised of all Horwich members.   So, depending how you view things, our first team, Barlick Hares, was either second or third team.

The same applies to our second team, Barlick Hop Limp Run.  They were tenth team home, but there were two teams in front of them that were not all from one club, so they were either eighth or tenth, depending how you look at it.  So, take your pick.

However, not to be outdone by the men was the ladies' team.  Our first team, Barlick Ladies 'A' was 35th overall, but 3rd ladies team.  A terrific performance from our girls.

Further details will be posted shortly.

Breakdown of Barlick Teams

The club has several teams out in this event.  If you are not running, why not come on and support?

As a change from the normal pub run format, this was from the home of Dave & Louise Halliday and incorporated a barbecue and barrel of Bridgehouse Brewery Ale.  As a result, it attracted a wide range of support of going on 30 people, including wives and children.  Some people even went for a run.

At the end of the night, an empty barrel testified to the fact that a good evening was had by all.
