Witches Relay, Barrowford- Lancaster 19/8/12
Witches Welcome Wizards

post date 14-05-2012

By popular request, we have allowed some men to join our relay team and therefore invite interested members of either sex to sign up and run.

We have to date a small band of keen Clem members of all abilities, plus volunteer drivers, and hope to allocate legs by the middle/end of June. Four of the members were on the ladies’ Pennine Way relay in 1982!

The total relay distance Barrowford – Lancaster is approximately 37miles, split into 7 legs, most of the early ones varying from 3.5 – 7 miles, and one long tough section Dunsop Bridge to Quernmore of roughly 13 miles. It’s envisaged that each leg will have at least 2 runners, with the Dunsop Bridge – Quernmore leg probably ending up more like a club run, as there are quite a few people who want to do it.

Back in 1982, the ladies’ Pennine Relay finished at Kirk Yetholm, but where the final fell leg came down to the road, all team members who went up so far north joined in the last mile down the road into the town. It would be fitting to do the same here, all who wish to do so joining in the run to Lancaster from Quernmore where the path comes down from Clougha Pike (about 3 miles on the road). Anyone wanting to join in here for the final stretch would be welcome

This isn’t a race so speed isn’t of the essence but it would be sensible to match runners with similar ability on the early legs.

Any interested potential witches/wizards, please get in touch & help make it a magical day.

Tour Of Pendle 2011 Results

post date 23-11-2011

What a fantastic day! The biggest field to date and a beautiful day - what more could we ask for? Congratulations to Carl Bell and Lindsey Brindle, both winners for the first time. There was an excellent Clayton turn-out, 39 of the 363 finishers, including three ladies. Andy Brown had a great run coming in third behind Carl Bell and James Logue. Mike Wallis was 14th overall and first Vet 50 and Kieran the first Vet 60 and 65! Andy, Mike, Paul Thompson and Chris Balderson won the team prize. It was the first long race back for Martin Brady as well - brilliant to have you back in the long classics Martin! Mark Nutter was presented with the first tankard for completing over 21 Tours - apparently it was well used in the pub in the hours that followed!

Many thanks to everyone that marshalled / helped with the race, and of course to Kieran for organising.

Junior Training; Venues and Times

post date 11-05-2011
Saturdays Training is now being run from the Unitarian Church in Padiham,adjacent to Memorial Park. This new venue gives us free parking, a large indoor meeting hall and ready access to parkland and open countryside. If you are coming down the M65 (from the Colne direction) then it's much quicker to stay on the motorway until junction 8 and approach Padiham from that direction. Meet at 12.20 for 12.30, juniors will be grouped by ability and all are welcome.

Monday Training is still from Barden Track at 4pm. This is now more open to all abilities; talk to Marion for more details.

Junior Summer Series; see link below.

Bill Smith

post date 05-10-2011

It is with profound sorrow that I bring you news of the death of Bill Smith. Bill was found on Saturday, 1st October, by a walker on Saddle Fell, in the Bowland Fells, just north of Chipping. It’s thought that Bill’s body had lain undiscovered for about 3 weeks. I was expecting Bill to marshal at Thieveley Pike on 24th September, but he never arrived. We now know why.

Bill Smith had been a member of Clayton-le-Moors Harriers since Nov 1971, just short of 40 years, and was a well respected - almost revered - member of the Fell Runners' Association. At our AGM on 25th August, we elected Bill as an Honorary Member in recognition of his outstanding service to the Club and to the sport of fell running. Over the years he wrote a huge number of articles about fell running, runners and races, but his chef d'oeuvre is 'Studmarks on the Summits - A History of Amateur Fell Racing 1861-1983'. Published in 1986, 'Studmarks' soon sold out and copies that have come available have changed hands for more than £100.

Despite having to rely on public transport, Bill helped out at a huge number of races, often in the most inaccessible venues. He used to take photos, which he would distribute, free of charge, to the subjects and always had a cheery word for anyone who passed the time of day with him. A true gentleman - quiet and unassuming. He will be greatly missed by all in Clayton-le-Moors Harriers and the Fell Runners' Association.

Our condolences go to all Bill’s family and his many friends.

5K Park Runs

post date 16-01-2011

The Park Runs are free "Timed 5K Runs". You need to register only once and there are lots of these events over the country. When you register (on line only) you print out a bar code. This is in effect your runners number. When you finish a Timed Run you are given another bar code which is your finishing position. The runner needs to present both bar codes at the finishing desk. That is it - it is free to enter.

The nearest Park Run is at Heaton Park Manchester All runs are on every Saturday at 9:00 am from the Lakeside cafe (boating lake) Heaton Park. Car parking is at the Lakeside car park off Sheepfold Lane.

These are good for newcomers, coming back from injury or for speed work.
