Deeside Thistle rider Elliot Rowe made a successful journey from Aberdeen to win the second edition of this race. He narrowly beat Jamie Tomson of Johnstone Wheelers and Corey Whiteford of the Lanark Race Team. ERC's Ahron Dick came across the line in 4th place.

The day was dedicated to the memory of former club member Ben Forsyth, with all proceed being donated to Cardiac Risk in the Young (C-R-Y), a charity whose aims are to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths through awareness, screening and research, and supporting affected families.
