The weather was ideal, with sunshine and blue sky. A wind did eventually build up on the high moor causing the refreshment tent to be taken down early to prevent it blowing away!

Andrew Lamb of Darlington was first home after running the 12 mile route in 1hr 40min. Elizabeth Crank of Bishops Stortford, was the first lady and second overall in 2hr 2min, beating John Smith of Hartlepool and John Hunter of Richmond into 3^rd and 4^th places by one minute. 

Steve Webbof Bingley was first home after running the 22 mile route in 3hr 2min. Rob Salt of Loughborough was second, followed in short order by Derek Parrington of Northallerton, Joe Hartley and Keith Wilson, both of Darlington.
