Barnsley Boundary Race

The annual Boundary Race is now a fixture in the local athletic events calendar. This year’s race attracted 36 teams and took place on 10th June in a spell of very good weather, if rather hot for such hard work. Our club provided marshals for various points on the route and helped to make this year’s event particularly successful: every team finished and there were no injuries sustained.

Thanks go to Steve Dickinson for organising the whole event and to our original boundary racer, Philip Thompson, for deploying our members to strategic points on the course. The prize presentation took place in the New Inn at Penistone and was very well attended. The pictures above show the race and the presentation.
