Female winner was Amelie Lane of Wharfedale Harriers who finished in a time of 17.56, and went home with an armful of eggs as she also won the Egg Stage in a time of 3.53 and was first GU17. Conditions were also good for another record to fall, this time the LV40 one, with Emma Hopkinson of Wharfedale setting a new time of 18.42
