First home in this was David Mirfield of Barlick Fell Runners who ran out a comfortable winner. David Poole, also of Barlick was in 2nd place by the summit, but he is still suffering from "Three Peaks Legs" and he was caught by Shaun Livesey of Blackburn Harriers who came through to finish in 2nd place.
The ladies race was easily won by Lisa Powell-Smith, even though she was still not fully recovered from a virus infection. However, a great run by Jacqueline Gissing saw her come home in 2nd place in her first fell race. Not far behind her was Irene Roche who also had a good run to finish 3rd lady and first W55

Only three Barlickers in this race, but they all finished inside the top ten. Nick Treitl is definitely returning to form as he showed by his second place and Carl Pawson followed up his good run last week to just nick 5th place from Chris Barnes. As for Andy Berry, 8th place was a pretty good performance for a lad who only recently broke his collar bone.

What a day. First of all, it was, baking hot sunshine, then a torrential downpour with thunder storms. The ladies were up first and as usual, Victoria Wilkinson was way out in front and came into the finishing field with not another runner in sight. Second home was Sarah McCormack of Ambleside. She was the first of three Ambleside runners to finish in the top seven, which enabled the club to easily win the team race. Third home was Nichola Jackson of Preston. As part of the impressive Ambleside team, Lou Roberts was first W45, as well as being 4th overall. Another runner to catch the eye was young Hannah Russell who, despite her young years, managed a top ten finish. Of the local runners, Sarah Tipler came home in 14th place. A few of the ladies were really struggling with the heat, with two runners being taken to hospital with Heat Stroke.
The men's race went ahead in completely different conditions. with thunder and lightning as well as the rain which came as a tremendous relief. Chris Arthur of Bowland ran a stormer and took the win, ahead of Jamie Parkinson of Pudsey & Bramley and third place, Carl Bell of Keswick. He was the first of four runners from Keswick to finish inside the top thirteen, which enabled them to easily run out the team winners. It was a particularly impressive run from young John Spill from Oxford University, who is in the U23 Category, yet came home in 4th position against the elite of the Fell Running world. Another impressive MU23 was Matthew Elkington of Dark Peak, who finished in 7th place. These are two talented youngsters to look out for in the future. Of the local runners, Thomas Corrigan had a great run finishing 6th overall.
Thanks must go to the marshals, landowners and sponsors of the race which were Agrispares, Weston's, Riley and Shutt and Pearsons Farm Supplies.
The results for these races are as follows:
14 Carl Pawson 36:16
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
