A good atmosphere, a great route and a well organised race greeted the three Barlickers who turned out for this race. Julian had a good run to finish in 4th place, as did Emma Bailey and only a windy second half stopped her missing her PB by 5 seconds.

This is an old fashioned fell race. There are separate races for the seniors and juniors, but they all run the same course and they all run it together.
The race was won by U17 Logan Hargreaves-Madhas. Jack Villiers had a good race to finish 5th overall.

This was a junior relay with teams split into younger (6 to 10 years) and older (11 to 14 years).
The Barlick older boys won the event outright, but only just, finishing seconds in front of the older mixed team. The Barlick younger girls team also did well, coming home in second place and not all that far behind the winning team. There were second places too for our older girls and a third place for our younger mixed team. Our junior group did well in this competition and the team spirit that is growing within the group bodes well for the upcoming cross country season.
Ted Mason easily ran out the winner in this race in a time of 11:59 which was 44 seconds ahead of the second runner. We only had one runner in this race.

The main aims of the club are to increase the participation of running in Barnoldswick and to keep organised running as accessible as possible.
