The first of the winter night events was held at Lothersdale. For the uninitiated, these are not races, but are timed training events. Wharfedale's Jack Smith demonstrated that he is getting back to form by recording the fastest time of the night of 27:58 for the run up to Pin Haw and back.
The two Barlick contenders finished as follows:
10 Dave Halliday 32:54
15 Pete Jackson 33:16
Please note that instead of the usual pub run, we will be hosting a bedlamite Owl Event. This is open to runners from all clubs and is a timed training run from the Pendle Inn at Barley, up to the top of Pendle (in the dark) and back again, in a circular route. There will be a bottle of wine for the runner who comes nearest to guessing their time.
Des Walkden completed this race which is a 6.5k trail run, an 18k mountain bike ride and 5.5k trail run.
31 Scott Baistow 1:31:47 (2nd U23)
10 John Boothman 22:55
42 Mark Browne 27:57
It was a wet night, but it still saw 28 individuals compete in teams or on their own in this popular event.
The first team back and overall winners were Shaun & Steve Chew and were just in front of the first individual back - John Raho.
Kirsty Hall was first solo lady.
In the absence of Mark Nutter, Ivan Whigam had a clear run to finish as the leading Clayton runner to take the Badger Trophy.
Shaun Chew ran the five miles of this night race of terrifying trails, hills of horror, menacing marshals and a final downhill sprint to the finish, to win this race in 37:14

The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
