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.

If there is one greater pleasure than winning a race, it is winning a race with a decent prize attached to it.  And that it what happened to Jimmy Craig last night.  Not only did he run out as a convincing winner, but he also went home with a £50 cash prize.  This is the second time that he has done this in this race series put on by Rossendale.

Carl Nevison is on fire at the moment, following up his 7th place finish the previous Tuesday with a fifth place finish in this race and leading the Barlickers home.  Quite incredible running.

Just three Barlickers turned out for this race, but they ran as a team, helping each other around the course and very fittingly, won the team prize.  It was the second running of this challenging race, which starts from the Hapton Inn.  Straight from the off, runners begin the long climb out of Hapton towards the quarry, but before ascending to the quarry, the runners are directed right on what seems like an endless path until they finally make that final ascent to the quarry, where they follow a large loop before ascending up Hameldon and then returning to that first ascent. 

At the top of this first ascent, Carl Nevison was leading the Barlickers out, closely followed  by Robert Cranham.  Mark Horrocks followed on a few places behind.  The final order of the race was largely sorted out on this first climb with many runners maintaining their race positions achieved during this first climb.  This is largely what happened with the Barlickers.  They all kept up with the brisk pace set by Carl Nevison with the result that all of them finished in the top ten and first category positions for each runner and in doing so, they easily took the team prize. 

Further down the field, Raymond Banks, who is really a very quick road runner, put in another good performance on the hills to finish 2nd in his category.  All in all, a good night for the Barlickers.

Ben Whitehead went over to the Brownlee Centre for their monthly 5K and found himself pitted against some very quick runners.  However, he appears to have been lifted by those around him and he recorded a PB by 30 seconds.  Quite a performance.

Ben recommends this event for anyone wanting to work on their speed.
