On dry, flattish, terrain the going was fast and furious. Top billing goes to Isobel Glaisher in the senior girls race who finished 10th; whilst Oliver Fox was pick of the boys results with his 13th placing in the equivalent age group for boys. Both Isobel and Oliver are at the younger age for this particular two year age span.

Harriers Kieran Young and Charlotte Baker were again crowned King & Queen based on their performances, best of 5 over the 6 race Series for 2013/14. Junior Harriers from the Monday training group also picked up the equivalent shields for their racing in the 1k and 2k races; William Carr picked up the 1k award and Connie Little the 2k award.
