Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

This race, organised by Stainland Lions, is a 10.3 mile multi terrain race through woodland, canal tow paths, trails and cobbled streets, with the occasional hill thrown in.  Richard Starkie took part again this year finishing in 147th position (out of 452 finishers), with a time of 1:34:30 which is an improvement of 11 minutes on his time of last year.

The women are taking over the world.  Katie Walshaw was not only the first lady, but she was also the overall race winner.

Sam Wadsworth had been partying the night before and went to this race merely to let his little girl run in the junior races.  However, when she finished, she asked if he was running and he felt that he was not setting a good example by saying that he could not be bothered.  Just to confirm that partying is not ideal race preparation, he had a shocker by his standards and finished in 30th place.

Full results are in the results section.

The first race of the Pendle & Burnley Grand Prix saw Jimmy Craig finish in third place with Sarah, beating Tara Krzywicki and Amy Green, who are both excellent runners, to win the ladies race.   The overall race winner was Richard Burney of Liverpool Harriers.  The Barlick runners finished as follows:

Rachel Lowther Wins the Ladies Race

This year, the race was won by Charlie McIntosh of Pudsey & Bramley in a time of 2:20:37, whist Rachel took the ladies race, improving on her time last year by over 21 minutes.

In the first part of the race, there was nothing to choose between the first three runners, who drew away from the rest of the pack, but as the race developed, Stephen Chew did not adhere to his original navigational plan and as a result of this, the two lead runners pulled away from him and he found himself caught by the next two chasing runners.  However, on the run in, he managed to out pace these two and secure third place.

In the ladies race, Rachel Lowther went off steadily and appeared to judge the pace of the race well managing to hold on to her lead and finish just in front of Kerrie Bretherton of Trawden.

The field was much reduced this year,  suffering from the clash with the Championship Race at Coniston

The table below shows the breakdown of times and positions at the various check points and have been taken from the official results web site.  However, the positions at the Hill Inn and Ingleborough look very suspect, as they are missing several of the top runners.
