Membership fees

Despite the name, the club participates in all disciplines of running, fell, cross country and road and welcomes applications from runners of all abilities to join us. If you are not sure if the club is for you, why not come to one of our training sessions or one of our regular pub runs. You will be under no obligation to join, but you will get a feel for the club and a better idea if the club is for you. You can merely turn up to a training session unannounced, but it would be better if you contacted our club secretary first (details on the contacts page) and let him know that you will be coming and he will make sure that whoever is leading the group will look out for you. If you are an absolute beginner to running, you too are most welcome to join us in one of our sessions, but please contact our secretary first and he will make sure that you will have a programme with which you are comfortable.

At last, the results have been published for this event and although Barlick are only in the third division, our A team beat all teams in the league with four of our runners finishing in the top twenty.  This result keep the A team firmly at the top of Division Three.

The B team finished 21st overall and whilst it is difficult to know exactly where they are in the league as Mid Lancs do not seem to be in a hurry to update their league tables, there is a good chance that they will be leading division four.

It was nice to see a full ladies team out and a first glance is that they finished 14th overall team and that they finished third in their division.  Hopefully, this will keep them in top place, but we will have to wait for the compilers from Mid Lancs to confirm this.

Finally, with the increased number of member taking part, we now have a male vets team and they finished 14th overall.

Ron Hill MBE was special guest at the Barlick Fell Runners 2nd annual presentation dinner at Ghyll Golf Club to reward the performances of the runners and his old friend Harry Smith for his services to athletics in Barnoldswick.

Shaun Chew is starting to earn a reputation and some prize money to go with it.  At his latest event Shaun won the event out right and a £500 first prize with a dominant performance in the final.

Matt Lalor won this race with another sub 33 performance.  His winning time this week was 32:51.

This was a tale of two races.  Although part of the Mid Lancs Cross Country League, this race was also a British Athletics Cross Challenge Race and as such, attracted some of the top athletes in the Country with the promise that the top runners would be selected for the European Cross Country Challenge in Bulgaria.  Competition amongst the elite athletes at the front of the race was fierce, as was the speed in both the men's and womens' races and was awesome to watch.  Then followed those athletes that we are used to seeing in local events and who we normally regard as being pretty good and today demonstrated the gap between those runners and those at International level.

The men's race was won by Callum Hawkins of Kilbarchan AAC in a time of 29:26.  The Barlickers finished as follows:

140 James Craig 33:39
145 Chris Singleton 33:50
147 Nick Treitl 34:01
154 Marc Hartley 34:12
177 Ian Livesey 35:10
215 Lucas Payne 36:43
220 Luke Maude 36:53
317 Andrew Chew 40:01
329 Derek Walkden 40:31
366 Lee Edwards 41:50
396 Dave Halliday 43:12
496 James Stead 51:56

The ladies's race was very similar to the men's.  The speed at the front was impressive and those women looked like they could hold their own in the average men's race.

The winning lady was Gemma Steel of Charnwood AC in a time of 26:58.  The Barlick team finished as follows:

85 Sarah Tipler 32:06
148 Rachel Lowther 38:34
176 Emma Bailey 42:27

With Emma making up the team, the ladies have maybe once more secured the maximum points at this event.
