Despite the worst weather for the event we have experienced in the last decade, with challenging horizontal rain and wind, the number of runners who showed up for the 3km loop was up on the last two years. Well done to all those who endured the conditions, especially students in House winner Cargill which was boosted by some great participation and double-podium finishes in the Junior and Senior Boys. Cargill makes it two for two in the last couple of years, following a two-year Stark House streak in 2021 and 2022.
The racing is always quick, with top finishers qualifying for Zones. Congratulations to all who participated, to Cargill for their top honours, and to the top three in each year group as listed below.
