The early news is that young Josh Boyle finished 2nd in this race, just one second behind the legendary Carl Bell.
Further details follow.
Three Barlickers entered the biggest Marathon in England and once again, came away with some cracking times. Ian Livesey, running his 3rd Marathon this year ran, 2.33.27, showing once again his quality over his favourite distance. With Chris Singleton losing his pb due to the Manchester Marathon being outed as a short course this week, Ian is now the club record holder. 2nd in and running his 2nd Marathon this year was Gary Shaw. Gary nearly pulled out 6miles in due to blisters, but showed grit and determination to finish in 2.44, which is still a great time. Mark Sandamas won the club ballot at the presentation evening and vowed to put it to good use. He's clearly been putting in the training as he looked lean and mean. Touching 50, he put in a great performance and came away with a pb of 2.46. All three enjoyed the unique atmosphere that London provides. Livers will no doubt be looking to go sub 2.30 in the future.
129 Ian Livesey 2:33:27
416 Gary Shaw 2:42:41
599 Mark Sandamas 2:46:06
Andrew Chew and Emma Bailey took part in this hilly road race, both getting a pb. Andrew was 3rd and Emma was 4th lady. Prizes were a bottle of wine and a scarecrow. It was a fantastic event and well organised, with the village decorated in scarecrows for their annual festival.

Sorry about the quality of some of the pages.
Harley Treitl ran in this race and finished 64th out of 72. He was in the top 10 on the way out, but fell badly on the return and struggled to get going again. He did well to finish, although covered in cuts and bruises.

Tom Adams of Ilkley is on form at the moment and he loves running on the moors above Haworth. It was no surprise therefore that at the start of this race, he sprinted off into the lead. However, tonight, he was hotly pursued from the start by promising youngster and new Barlick recruit Josh Boyle. Josh gave Tom a run for his money, but as the race progressed, the stamina of the older man made itself felt and in the end, he ran out the comfortable race winner. Josh was 2nd in the race and naturally, the first U16 runner. The fact that he can chase the top runners at his age, show how much potential he has for the future. Two other Barlickers turned out and finished as follows.
1 Tom Adams 15:22 (ilkley)
2 Josh Boyle 16:07 (1st MU16)
145 Rachel Lowther 23:59
271 Graham Wadsworth 34:20
