Cork won the senior men?s inter-county race from Dublin and Wexford. Dublin won the women?s race from Cork. The recent torrential rains and a heavy mist forced a significant shortening of the course from the planned finish on Galtymore summit.

Mark Ryan (Rathfarnham) on his mountain debut won the senior men?s race from Brian McMahon (Clonliffe). McMahon moved into the lead after a mile but Ryan emerged from the pack one kilometre later to join him. These pair pulled away from what was initially a large pack of around 20 runners. On the rough mountain path Ryan gradually pulled away for a good win. Sean Hehir (Rathfarnham) finished well for third ahead of Mick Kelly (Gowran), Tom Hogan (Slaneyside) and Peter O?Farrell (Rathfarnham).

Edel Mooney (Offaly) ran strongly to win the women?s race. Donna Mahon (Rathfarnham) had a very aggressive race throughout to finish a good second ahead of Mags Greenan (Clonliffe), Orla Ni Mhuircheartaigh (Galway) and Aoife Joyce (Crusaders).

Michelle Finn (Duhallow) and Eoin Rowan (North Sligo) won the junior races. The Jennings brothers (DSD) were second and third in the junior men ahead of Martin Doyle (Sliabh Bhuidhe). Eimear Tangney (Spa Muckross) and Gayle Finn (Duhallow) were the remaining medallists in the junior women. Breda McDonald (North Laois) ran very well to take fourth ahead of Becky Hand (Limerick) and Carol Huet (DSD).
