Youngster Matthew Heppenstall of Settle Harriers won this race by over a minute, despite going wrong on two occasions. He looked quick and the result confirmed it. It was good to see Andy Collins out in another race and he finished in a respectable 5th place and although Robert Cranham is still recovering from the London Marathon, he cannot keep away from the fells and he managed a top ten finish.
Our only woman out, Hayley Whitehead, had a good run to come home in second place. All in all, a good night out for the Barlickers.
5 Andy Collins 25:44
10 Robert Cranham 27:15
24 Hayley Whitehead 33:57 (2nd woman, first WS)
