In the men's A team, there were some great performances, especially from runners who were not fully fit, but turned out on the day to represent their club. However, despite what was a great team effort, events on the day conspired against us and once more we were runners up to Calder Valley.
The B team also put in a cracking team effort and by Blackshaw Head were in 9th position, but they slipped later in the race and finished 13th. The early details and finishing times are as follows:
1 Calder Valley 5:56:55
2 Barlick Fell Runners 6:04:34
3 Wharfedale Harriers 6:10:30
13 Barlick "B" Team 6:58:44
27 Barlick "C" Team 7:32:23
54 Barlick Ladies 8:20:39 (5th Ladies Team)

The conditions were perfect this year for this race. The course was bone dry, it wasn't too hot so fast times were expected. However, the record set by Andy Norman in 2006 stays in tact. It is a ridiculously fast time and sets a serious challenge for the future. It was Mark Addison who took the win in a good time, being chased home by Matthew Hobbs of Pudsey. Of the locals, Nick Treitl continued his comeback with another good run just in front of John Whiteside. Julian Hood was 5th thus bringing home the team prize for Barlick.
The ladies race was won Holly Page from Calder Valley, with Sarah Tipler taking second place. Third was the ever improving Rachel Villiers. Laura Craig came 7th so the Barlick ladies took the team prize.
Other notable performances on the night were 1st vet 50 for Chris Smale, 1st lady 65 for Jean Rawlinson and excellent performances from Jenna Boothman and Jack Villiers.
Thanks once again to the marshals, volunteers and Earby Cricket Club for holding the presentation.
A few member entered this event as Barlickers. Heather Driver once more showed what a natural she is at this event and came home 63rd overall and 9th lady, despite suffering from "Three Peaks Legs" in the final run.
Three of the men entered as a relay team and came first. The were Luke Maude (swim), Andy Berry (bike) and Nick Treitl (run). During his ride, Andy Berry was knocked off his bike and sustained a broken collar bone, but he still managed to finish. The times for the Barlickers were as follows:
| Pos | Name | Swim | T1 | Bike | T2 | Run | Total Time |

This race saw Stephen Chew back in the fell race scene where he came up against Jack Smith, a regular winner of this race. Steve gave him a run for his money, but in the end, younger legs prevailed and once more, young Jack took the honours. It was quite a race, in that whilst Steve was trying to chase down Jack, his team mates were chasing him and he finished just ahead of Nick Treitl and John Whiteside. Barlick dominated this race in that the club secured five places out of the top ten finishers, with Carl Pawson narrowly missing out on joining that group.
The ladies race saw Sarah Tipler return to the fells to win the ladies race by a comfortable margin. After her gruelling performance in the Three Peaks race, Leanne Dinsdale put in a surprisingly good performance to finish second woman, making it a Barlick 1-2. Further down the field, it was good to see new runners Victoria Peel and Donna Milligan out on the fells and with more race experience, these girls will only get better.
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
