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.

Adam Wale from Clayton dominated this race, leading all the way out and all the way back.  He was chased to the finish by Dave Mirfield who finished within a minute of him.  There were good performances all round from Barlick with four finishers in the top ten, with young Jack Villiers in 13th place and already showing signs of improvement since returning to the club.

This was the first marathon for Ben Whitehead.  His approach was to take it steady right from the start and to try and maintain that pace throughout the race.  His plan worked to perfection with his pace in the second half of the race almost matching that of the first.  His feelings on finishing was that he found it easy and much easier than doing the full Three Peaks!  He would now like to have another go, but next time to target a time below 2:30. Ben used his run to raise money for prostate cancer.

Jimmy Craig suffered an injury leading up to this race, but some good physio treatment saw him not only make the start line, but to finish in 5th place.  It was a good result, although Jimmy was disappointed that he just failed to finish under 2hrs 30m.
