Miranda Morley was the first Jogger home, with Lorraine Hunter coming first in her age category. Times were as follows:-

Miranda Morley 52.41, Samantha Edwards 1.02.23, Julie Jochimsen 1.02.24, Fiona Lear 1.08.51, Paul Morley 1.09.59, Edna Clark 1.12.07, Lorraine Hunter 1.12.07.

On Sunday seven Horsham Joggers ran the inaugural Glatting Beacon 5 organised by Sussex Multisports, two of them having competed at Guildford the day before. This was a challenging trail run from the Whiteways car park to the top of Glatting Beacon and back. Glatting Beacon is just to the west of Bignor Hill. Not only was this a hill climb, but the terrain was rough in places. Sadly Claire took a wrong turn on the course and ended up running about 2 miles longer than everyone else, but this did not stop her reaching the finish line.
