Jimmy Craig finished 2nd in this race to Allan Bush (Norman's son). There are no times for this race. This is a traditional Dales fell race and it used to be common for such races to be held without timing them. This is probably one of the few left that still do this. The positions for the Barlickers were:
2 Jimmy Craig
5 Shaun Chew
14 Michael Thistlethwaite
An awesome performance from Matt Lalor saw him set a new course record and win this race in 1:11:19, beating second place by 6 minutes.
5 Sam Gibbs 21:14
3 Julian Hood 57:50
17 Andy Berry 1:03:50
50 Des Walkden 1:11:15
In this race, Ted Mason is running in his own backyard and every year, he likes to show any offcumdens who dominates the area. And so it was again this year that Ted ran out a very clear winner.
