The course, as in the two previous races, took the runners up Middle Moor in Little Hayfield- on the less well known grouse butts path, down to the bottom of William Clough and along the side of the lovely Kinder Reservoir.

Runners left the school field at 11.30am and the first runner - Sol Clark (Buxton AC) - returned an impressive 41.00 minutes later.
