This race, organised by Stainland Lions, is a 10.3 mile multi terrain race through woodland, canal tow paths, trails and cobbled streets, with the occasional hill thrown in. Richard Starkie took part again this year finishing in 147th position (out of 452 finishers), with a time of 1:34:30 which is an improvement of 11 minutes on his time of last year.
The women are taking over the world. Katie Walshaw was not only the first lady, but she was also the overall race winner.
Sam Wadsworth had been partying the night before and went to this race merely to let his little girl run in the junior races. However, when she finished, she asked if he was running and he felt that he was not setting a good example by saying that he could not be bothered. Just to confirm that partying is not ideal race preparation, he had a shocker by his standards and finished in 30th place.
Full results are in the results section.

Rachel Lowther Wins the Ladies Race
This year, the race was won by Charlie McIntosh of Pudsey & Bramley in a time of 2:20:37, whist Rachel took the ladies race, improving on her time last year by over 21 minutes.
In the first part of the race, there was nothing to choose between the first three runners, who drew away from the rest of the pack, but as the race developed, Stephen Chew did not adhere to his original navigational plan and as a result of this, the two lead runners pulled away from him and he found himself caught by the next two chasing runners. However, on the run in, he managed to out pace these two and secure third place.
In the ladies race, Rachel Lowther went off steadily and appeared to judge the pace of the race well managing to hold on to her lead and finish just in front of Kerrie Bretherton of Trawden.
The field was much reduced this year, suffering from the clash with the Championship Race at Coniston
Stephen Chew made a return to the fells in this race, coming home in third place. Ashley Holt from Rossendale was the race winner.
Barlick shirts are now starting to appear all over. There were three on the Island of Guernsey over the Easter weekend in this road race. They finished as follows:

In the first three Bunny Runs, Barlick Fell Runners were conspicuous by their absence. However, they made up for it last night and entered several teams and it was good to see so many Barlick shirts around, some worn by members running their first ever race.
Sarah Tipler had a particularly good run to record a time of 11:14, which is the 16th fastest ever Bunny Relay Leg time. Woodentops are in the process of altering the results to record this.
The official results are now available and details of the Barlick teams are below.
The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
