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.

  • Seniors

A good turnout of Barlickers for this race, with five out of the top ten places going to the club.   At the front, it was nip and tuck between Jack Wood and Jimmy Craig with Jack just shading it.  Jimmy was perhaps feeling the aftermath of a hard track session or as he put it as he approached the summit for the second time, "Harvey killed me last night".  You might not see Mark Sandamas out on the fells for a while, but when he does return, you would never believe he has been away and in this race he managed a top ten finish as well as being first V40/V45.

In the ladies race, it was another outright victory for Lorraine Slater who was also first V40/V45 with Angela Donlan finishing 4th lady overall.  All the Barlick finishing positions and times were as follows:

Since its formation two and a half years ago, the club has harboured an ambition to have a junior section, where we could encourage youngsters to get out and start running.

On Monday this week, we took our first step in fulfilling this ambition and set up a junior training program which was held in Victory Park. The session was taken by Nick Treitl, Stephen Chew and Sarah Tipler. Being the first session, it was not widely publicised yet it attracted an incredible 29 youngsters.

This will now be a regular weekly event.

We have set up a new Junior Section on the web site and whereas at the moment it only contains details of the Monday training session, it will be developed as our juniors start spreading their wings and start racing.

The sessions will take place from Barnoldswick Cricket Club at 6.30pm on a Monday and cost £1.

Each child will have a head torch and a high visibility vest for the session unless they have their own head torch.

The Junior session caters for all levels of ability.

After a quick and fun warm up we divide the group into 3 relating to age and ability.

The 3 groups then go with one of the three coaches, Stephen Chew, Nick Treitl and Sarah Tipler.

The sessions will be a mixture of

1 speed work
2 hurdles and technique work
3 endurance
4 pacing

The main aim is to get as many of the juniors racing as soon as possible.

The junior vests can be ordered from Stephen Chew for £15.

Parents attending will be able to seek shelter in the club house at the cricket club.  Tea and coffee will be on sale for 50p.  Alternatively you can join in the new beginner session starting on Monday 12th October from the cricket club.

Chris Holdsworth of Clayton had a storming run, finishing in 41:26 and beating the boys from Barlick, with Marc Hartley just out sprinting Tom Corrigan to take second place. 4th was Julian Hood meaning another team prize for the men.  The ladies also won the team prize with Lorraine Slater finishing 2nd lady and being backed up with strong performances from Jen Hird and Angela Donlan, all in the top 8 ladies.   Jean Rawlinson continued her domination of the FV60 category with another 1st place.

A very well organised race yet again from Trawden with 190 runners.  The junior races were also well attended.

If you feel it has been hot here, try a Park Run in Florida, where this weekend, there was a Barlick vest on display. The run started at 7:30 am before it got too hot and at the end there was a welcoming bottle of water and a piece of melon.  The atmosphere was great and the local people were very welcoming.
