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. Membership fees for the club are as follows:
  • Seniors
  • For members over the age of 18
  • £10/year
  • For runners of all abilities over the age of 18
  • For runners participating in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road running

Junior Membership

As a running club, we like to encourage youngsters of all ages to take part in the sport.  It is good healthy exercise in the open air and it also breeds mental toughness. 

Parents or guardians will be fully responsible for the welfare, safety and behaviour of junior members.

The annual junior membership fee is as follows:

Age 11 and under - £5

Age 12 to 16 - £20

Membership runs to the end of the year from when it becomes renewable annually.

Marc Hartley got the new year off to a quick start going sub 16 at the local Podium 5k on the Steven Burke cycle track in Barrowford. He finished third overall with Tim Raynes of Blackburn Harriers winning the race. Dan Balshaw also ran making his debut with a 17.14 clocking.

Tom Addison  has been an ever present in this league and he once more showed his intentions by turning up for this first race of the new season and winning it with a comfortable margin in a time of 28:08.  Lee Parrington was our only representative there who had a good run to secure a top twenty finish out of a field of 233.

Advanced Junior Training Programme

Barlick Fell Runners have developed an advanced training program for our thriving junior section. The program is available to all junior members who have attended training sessions on a regularly basis thus far.

Some of our juniors are with us because they enjoy the fun aspects of our regular training sessions and they may not necessarily wish to advance beyond that, which is fine.

However, for those who would like to progress their running we have designed a challenging program for all abilities which starts January 2016.

Juniors will be given the opportunity to advance through three stages Bronze, Silver and Gold over a period of 12 weeks at various times throughout the year. 

To reach the required standards the following criteria must be met within the target period stated. Any junior struggling to reach a status within the target period will be given extra time and support to help them achieve it, however they will have to wait until the following year to start on the next level. It will be difficult to attain the Gold status for some, but this is because the bar has been deliberately set high. 

If your child would like to take part in the scheme the onus is on you to let one of the coaches know. We will post a notice on Facebook and on the noticeboard in the cricket club to let you know when each program is due to start.

The requirements are as follows:

BRONZE

  • Must be a member of the club and have your own club vest.
  • Wear appropriate kit. (Please see Junior General Information page on the club website).
  • Display outstanding attitude and behaviour consistently.
  • Attend a minimum of 8 out of the 12 sessions and turn up on time each week.
  • Represent the club in at least 3 races, park runs allowed (Please see our race calendar on the club website).
  • Attain required target time over 1 lap of the circuit used for Monday night training (A target time will be set by one of the coaches). 

SILVER

  • Must attain Bronze status with the 12-week period.
  • Continued excellent attendance, attend a minimum of 9 out of the next 12 sessions and turn up on time each week.
  • Represent the club in at least 3 more races, 1 park run allowed (please see our race calendar on the club website).
  • Attain required target time over 1 and 2 laps of the circuit used for Monday night training (Please see age related times below).
  • Train away from the club at least once per week (10 - 20 minute run).

GOLD

  • Must attain Silver status within the 12-week period.
  • Attend a minimum of 10 out of the 12 sessions and turn up on time each week.
  • Represent the club in at least 3 more races, not including park runs (please see our race calendar on the club website).

Junior training is held on a Wednesday night from 7pm – 8pm at Seedhill Athletics Track in Barrowford. We cater for 8 -16 year olds.

Training is run by Matthew Watson, Nick Treitl and Richard Treitl in partnership with Pendle AC. Although we are a specialist distance running club, younger athletes of primary school age will be coached in a range of track and field events. However, in the winter, training is mainly based around endurance running.

Older athletes can specialise in endurance running with Barlick club coaches or can specialise in other track and field event groups with Pendle AC coaches (please enquire for further information).

There is no charge for our coaching but there is a fee of £4.85 each time you use the track. Alternatively, you can pay a monthly fee of £12.99, to Pendle Leisure, for an Activo pass which will give your child access to West Craven Pool in Barnoldswick, Pendle Leisure Centre Pool in Colne, the pool at Pendle Wavelengths in Nelson and Seedhill Track in Barrowford. In addition, there are junior / teenage gym sessions at each centre covered by the Activo pass (please visit Pendle Leisure website for further information or ask in one of the Pendle Leisure facilities).

We offer a three week trial period, and should athletes wish to continue training after the trial period you will need to join the club and pay the annual club membership fee (see membership page for further details).  

Please email Matthew Watson to check availability and with any enquires at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Training is outside year round so children attending will need to bring suitable clothing for the conditions including a waterproof coat and a drink.

Junior Competitions
We aim to develop our juniors to compete in a range of completions including the Red Rose Cross Country League through the winter and BOFRA fell races in the summer.

Athletes can also choose to join Pendle AC as well a Barlick and complete in a track and field league in the summer.
