The class of the field in the Women’s race was 21-year-old Aldershot and Farnham District runner Alice Lethbridge. She returned from injury to run away from the rest of the women’s field and give herself a boost before tackling the steeple chase in the upcoming track season.
Second woman home was Emma Harraden, who fought off 40-year-old Croydon Strider Helen Furze. Furze was not only the third placed woman but took victory in the Vets 35-44 category with her time of 39.58.
Behind Furze were Straggler’s Juliet Cleghorn and South London Harrier Vivienne Mitchell.
