English International Kevin Nash of Belgrave Harriers was first home, returning a time of 25 mins 10 secs. He was followed by veteran team mate Mike Trees, (25 mins 41) and John Lisiewicz of Oxford City AC (27.01) - all superb times in icy cold, windy conditions.

Local Southampton RC runner Amy Campbell was the first lady in 30 mins 07 secs. Second for Karrie Blake (Denmead Striders) and third place was taken by Karen Rushton, also of Southampton RC, who also took the 1st Lady Vet prize.
