Veronica Kanga, perhaps thinking warm, Thankful thoughts of her Kenyan homeland, braved temperatures about a third of her age in winning the women's race in 30:00. Master Paul Hargreaves, second in his age group, was the first Strider across the line, making the pilgrimage in 28:26.

Carol Hurley gobbled up the first masters' spot among women. Others clucking loudly in their age divisions included Cheryl Taylor (2nd, 20-29), Dick Hunt (3rd, 60-69), Jennifer Hast (3rd, 13-19), and Ed Sato (3rd, 70+).
