Fifth overall and first girl was Ellie Newton who received the gold medal for her efforts with the silver and bronze going to Chloe Greenwood and Gemma Johnson respectively.

The older age groups all set off together and headed up towards Daisy Bank before traversing across and tackling the challenging climb up White Field Lane after cutting through the woods the U10/12 turned for home heading back through Park Fold Wood to Daisy Bank before sprinting down the final field to the finish and amidst loud vocal support.

As they made there way across Erringden Moor before turning for home the top 3 ran each other close, the long downhill finish failed to separate them to any large extent and all 3 finished within 13 secs of each other.
