As a change from the normal pub run format, this was from the home of Dave & Louise Halliday and incorporated a barbecue and barrel of Bridgehouse Brewery Ale. As a result, it attracted a wide range of support of going on 30 people, including wives and children. Some people even went for a run.
At the end of the night, an empty barrel testified to the fact that a good evening was had by all.

This race goes through the heart of Burnley, taking in three of the town’s parks; Rowley Park, Towneley Park and Thompson Park.
This year it provided another race win for Matt Lalor as he stormed to victory in his hometown. His time of 34mins was enough to win the race 1min 12secs from Chris Holdsworth from Clayton. Andrew Carson also had a cracking run coming home 14th in a time of 37.56mins. John Boothman was next home after his race at Buckden yesterday he ran a creditable 45.16.
Alison Sugden had a good run finishing in a time of 55mins to round up the Barlick runners.

The legend that is Jean Rawlinson was out racing again in this race at Todmorden. She finished 49th overall, 3rd lady and 1st vet 60.
There were 61 finishers.
Ted Mason has won most of the races in the Wharfedale valley and although he has been second on several occasions, first place in this race has proved to be very elusive. It was therefore nice to see Ted entering the finish funnel first at last. He was pushed hard by Sam Watson, who is also gaining a reputation for being second in this race, but Ted is one of the best descenders on the fell, bar none and this is where he had the edge over Sam. These two had opened up a bit of a gap on Nigel Wood of Coniston who was the third place runner, who finished just ahead of Neal Crampton of Torq Trail Running. Neil is a very good ascender and he showed this again today by being first to the summit.
In the ladies race, Aly Raw of Bingley showed that despite being a Vet 50 runner, she is still a force to be reckoned with, and she took first place. She finished ahead of Lorraine Slater of Barlick Fell Runners. The third lady was Rachel Lowther, also of Barlick Fell Runners.
Hopefully a full album of race pictures will be available tomorrow.
