- Mixed: Won the Mixed class. 7th of 41 classified finishers overall across all classes.
- Vets: Classified DNF, so no official time or position. All 18 legs were run and individually timed, and those times are recorded against each leg — they add up to 13:04:13. That is the sum of the leg times rather than a finishing time: under the cut-off rule the leg 18 runner starts before the leg 17 runner comes in, so the last legs overlap.
