Anna’s comments Before starting this race the weather was quite warm, but this did not stop me thinking I could go under 18 minutes for 5k. Although the route was very flat, when running the race it was very windy all the way around the course which meant I had to use lots of strength and effort to push through it. Annoyingly, this meant that during the last mile I was feeling pretty burnt out and struggled to conserve some of my energy for the final part of the race. In the end I was the first lady to cross the finish line in 18.03 which I am pleased with as it's a PB and I now hold the course record. Other than this the atmosphere was great , large crowds of people cheering and it felt good to be part of a carnival.
Terry’s comments Recent 10K races forecasted a reasonable target would have been 24 minutes for this 5K race just south of Preston , so I was pleased to come away with 23.39. Starting at 12.30 the race virtually acted as a warm up to the carnival parade and the rest of the day’s activities, so the encouragement from the crowd and the sun on the shoulders was appreciated. Shame that the wind took the edge of the times.
205 finished.

The winner of this race was Chris Miller from Harrogate. The couple of Barlickers finished:
4 Julian Hood 37:27
16 Shaun Chew 39:55
167 ran.
A bit late with this one, but would you believe that it has taken this length of time for the results to appear. Anyway, Chris Smale had a great race to finish in 2nd place, only thirty seconds behind race winner, Gaz Pemberton from Wharfedale. Not bad for a V50.
For a change it was a lovely day for this race, with a clear blue sky greeting the runners at the start. There were fewer runners than normal this year due to the Championship Race taking place at Tebay, but the closer friendly atmosphere was a useful reminder of how fell races used to be.

Two Barlickers turned out in the sweltering conditions to take part in this race:
10 Eddie Simpson (1st V45)
67 Vicky Holgate (2nd W40)
Lucas Payne was over in the Isle of Wight and he turned out for the local Park Run. It was very hot and quite a convoluted hilly course, but he says that the organisation was very impressive with places for kit, car keys etc.
