Two inches of overnight snow added to an already muddy course at Herrington Park, Sunderland and provided a tough challenge for the Wallasey AC runners. The men finished in 45th place in the six man event and 51st in the nine man event. Phil Walton was the first Wallasey AC runner home completing the course in 52:16 for 334th place. Other counters were Mike Green, John Armstrong, Phil Cuthbert, Greg Jones and Dave Walton. First lady was Kim McEneany who achieved and excellent 121st place in 37:38 for the 8k course.
