The race was again run on a bright sunny day, and as usual, centred on the 14th century Sun Inn. The good running conditions were taken full advantage of by Tim Davies of Mercia, running the whole race clear of the field, knocking 44 seconds off the 2002 course record. Tim finished in 46' 46". Andrea Roberts (Eryri) was not very far behind the ladies record, winning in 57' 36". First home for the MV40 was Alan Ward from Dark Peak in 51' 49", Sandra Rowlands of Clwydian Range Runners winning the LV40 in 67' 00".
