After a great run last week in the Stan Bradshaw Pendle round, it was back out on the fells again for Lorraine Slater in this challenging 31.7 mile / 4396 ft of climb race. Lorraine saw off the opposition to finish first lady. In view of the conditions, most people were slower this year, but Lorraine managed to get a 2 minute PB. Not only that, but Lorraine led the Barlickers home.

This was the first serious test for Tom Corrigan since his recovery from injury and 7th place is a good result given the quality at the front of the field.
Lorraine Slater was back out on the terrain that she loves and had a great race, finishing 2nd female, behind the brilliant Holly Page of Calder Valley. She was naturally first V40.
It was great to see our younger runners out in this race with Zac Kaye, Victoria Peel and Hannah Newbold all picking up podium places in their age categories.

As you would expect in a 19 mile race through snow and bogs, there were some big names in the top ten finishers and among them were Barlick runners David Mirfield and Dave Poole. Their joint superb performances along with that of Ben Hoyle were enough to secure 2nd team prize for Barlick, behind Calder Valley.
The race was won by Carl Bell, who after 19 miles was just 20 seconds in front of Jack Wood of Ilkley. Special mention should also be made of Sharon Taylor of Helm Hill, who was not only first lady, but finished 12th overall.
The Barlickers finished as follows:
7 David Mirfield 2:57:35
8 David Poole 3:00:49
52 Ben Hoyle 3:36:38
68 Gary Bradley 3:49:39
108 Jack Ingham 4:08:57
