The early warm start to March became a distant memory to contestants in this 10 miles / 3100 ft race. The race organizer agonized about the conditions and in the end decided to shorten the route slightly. However, the runners still had to contend with freezing pools and and deep peat bog on the snow free lower section, whilst on the higher ground, the snow gradually increased to 8 inches, with extremely poor visibility at the turn around at Llyn Aran Benllyn.
The race was won by Felipe Jones of Aberystwyth AC 1:06:46.
Richard TreitlI finished 68th in 1:49:07 and described it as a challenging race where full kit/head count was strictly enforced, but where, in reality, most people had the majority of their 'emergency' kit on.
