Must be my favourite local race as well !! I have run it 158 times out of a possible 189 - A few race facts from Statto Allemby !! -, 2001 was the year it was not held because of the foot and mouth epidemic .Once it was a long course ( 3th April 2013 ) because of work on the bridleway , went through Cawthorne and then back on the pavement to the finish and was approx 5 miles - First race was 5th April 1989 - hailstones and near darkness I recall !!!,- I came 5th in 21.17 --- , my best time was 20.41 on 12th July 1989 - Highest number of finishers was 247 - 1st May 2029 and the lowest was just 38 - 4th July 2007 - Became 3 races per series ( instead of its usual 6 ) in 2022 and then became based on time aggregate instead of points -- 😊
Just come across your UA-cam channel used to run for Barnsley road runner's in the early 80s when Dave Bennett and wife run the club me steve timmins and Dave price ran in the Barnsley 6 13 to 15 boys race 2 or 3 times and won the team avent twice but as we were still at school we ran for the school and not the roadrunners which was royston comprehensive school I wasn't the best runner but enjoyed it timmins finnished 2nd twice I think price 8th and 6th and me 19th and 16th we were the first school to win the team avent and not a club keep up the good work 👍
Fantastic mate… Dave Bennett is still very much involved with Anne, his wife. I see them once a week, most weeks. They’re an absolute godsend to running locally. The return of the Barnsley 10k was great to get running back in the town centre this year, some real ambitions to grow it for 2025 🤞
Always tooth and nail when it comes down to the last race, it was 1st and 2nd prizes this year for the age categories as well. So you might have scooped something 😁
Brilliant well done all of you xxxx
Awesome Camera duties Naomi! Cracking Race! Great video.
Thank you pal! She didn’t do too bad, I need to convince her more 😅
I'm so glad you're calf niggle has gone Naomi. Good luck for the half marathon. Xx
Hopefully it stays that way for the weekend 🤞😁
Well done Brilliant
Thank you pal!

@@therunningmaninbluefantastic all the best 👍
Ah. Many the runner who jogged over the line under the old system to get those 10 bonus pb points to win the series.
Never me fortunately, it’s an all out race every single time 😅
Missed out on a prize by 10 secs. Gutted. Ah well.
You got 2nd Over 65 prize Steve Frith
