Kelbrook Fell Race - 30 May 2026
Written by Graham Wadsworth
Once again, Matt Watson started this race like he meant business and took an early lead in this race, chased by Jack Broughton. However, by the plantation before the climb to the summit, Jack had closed the gap that Matt had built and the question was, would Matt be able to maintain his lead up to the summit. Approaching the summit, the early effort had taken its toll and Matt was reduced to walking, but as he started his return, he once more opened up the gap and once more ran out an easy winner ahead of Jack Broughtpn and promising young Sam Midgley from Trawden.
In the ladies race, Louise Powell-Smith was in control throughout the race and finished just ahead of Sophie Whittaker and April Thorpe.
Both team prizes went to the home club.
The Barlickers finished as follows:

Today a star was born. Young Beulah Cranham has been doing very well in both the junior and senior park runs. However today, she made her debut in fell racing. She has not long since gone eight years old and she entered the U10 race. Despite the age disadvantage, she took the honours and came home in first place and by doing so, earned herself a tenner.
She still has much to learn about fell running, but what a promising start.

Edinburgh Marathon - 24 May 2026
Written by Graham Wadsworth
John Boothman drove up to Edinburgh in his camper van, where he stopped overnight, ready for an early start. After all the recent cool weather, the day was something else and the heat does not suit John. The first half of the race went reasonably well for him, but in the second half, the heat began to take its toll, not only on John, but on many other runners too and particularly towards the finish, there were many runners at the side of the road in deep trouble. John did finish, although at just under 4 hours was a bit slower than last year. he was dehydrated at the end of the race and he rested for a while at the finish before setting off back home.
