The top three was completed by Ross Fawcett, of Ipswich Harriers, while behind him there was an under-13 age group victory for club-mate Andrew Revell. He was sixth overall.

Sam Harrison, of Saint Edmund Pacers, was second in this under-13 section, finishing just two seconds ahead of club-mate Elin Grose, who won the under-13 girls' race by finishing 10th overall. The Waveney Valley AC duo of Megan Burt and Alice Wicks were first and second in the under-17 girls' category, while Sarah Driver (Newmarket & Sudbury) topped the girls' under-15 age group. In the team stakes, Waveney Valley are well clear in the girls' half, with Ipswich Harriers leading the way for the boys.
