Men's race

Oxford took the trophy from Cambridge by a winning margin of 34:50 minutes, with the Cambridge scoring team consisting of Ben Stevens, Chris Williamson, Graeme Ambler and Adam Bennett. The men's race was won by Oxford's Joe Mercer, with Cambridge's Ben Stevens just over two minutes behind in silver position.

Women's race

Oxford were the stronger team this year, taking an Oxford 1-2-3-4 and beating the light blues by just under 100 minutes. The first Cambridge spot was taken by Victoria Stevens, who was joined in the scoring team by Anya Crocker and Clare Sutherland. The overall winner was Helen Gardner of Oxford, with a five minute margin over second placed Anne Edwards.

DrongO-JOK race

In this year's race it was 3 men and 1 woman to count and although the alumni winners were both from DrongO (Eric Roller on men's and Ann Roller on women's), the whole team of Ann, Eric, Mark Collis and Ben Holland were unable to beat the drovers of JOKers who turned up (JOK 333:24, DrongO 387:46).
