Hot on his heels was Luke Murphy in 3rd place (01:21.9), followed by Ashton Hanna in 5th place (01:22.9) – an incredible spread of just 1.8 seconds between our top three male Elite runners!

Alice Dixon rounded out our Elite contingent with a solid 02:00.8 performance.

Chris Todd took top honours in the 5059 categories, claiming 1st place, while Ron Ross secured 4th place in the competitive 6069 division. Special recognition goes to Ron Shoesmith, who dominated the 70+ category with a strong performance that showcased the enduring spirit of our master athletes.
