Bronte Way - 26 October 2025
Written by Graham WadsworthIt was good to see Tom Corrigan back out again running and as usual, he gave it everything. After the climb up to Watersheddles Reservoir, he was just behind the eventual race winner, but as the race went on, the advantage fell to the younger man and he had to settle for second place ahead of that evergreen of fell running, Ian Holmes. Ben Whitehead had a cracking run, but was eventually caught by Dave Mirfield and they crossed the line together, making it three Barlickers in the top ten.
Robert Cranham had a very strong run up to the reservoir which he reached before Andy Berry, but eventually Andy hauled him back and finished just in front of him. There were good performances all round from the Barlickers and even Carl Pawson put in some effort instead of his usual jog to the pub. Poor old John Boothman. He did his best as always, but he has been devilled by a leg injury which his doctor is struggling to diagnose and he finished further down the field than one would normally expect.
The Barlickers finished as follows:
2 Tom Corrigan 57:02 (1st M40)

Robert Cranham made the long trip up to the Western Lakes for this final race of the Bofra season and on his way, he stopped off at Muncaster Castle to win the parkrun. He finished the race in 13th position. What could he have done without the park run? John Boothman is no doubt looking on and smiling.

This was the 6th major marathon for John Boothman this year in his pursuit of the Abbott's Six Star medal. This is an exclusive award to all those finishing the six top marathons in the world, in the same year. As usual, John did not do enough training for this event. He is just too busy a man. His objective in this race was therefore to finish as it was the culmination of his running this year. There were many people who dropped out of the race, mainly due to heat exhaustion, but John managed to keep wet and hydrated. His finish time was one of his slowest, but he achieved his objective and is now the proud owner of the Six Star Medal. It is yet another milestone in John's remarkable running career.
