The queen race had a very fast start with a leading group in which there were athletes from CA La Nucia, CA Llebeig Xàbia and CA Benissa who printed a very high pace. This caused the group to stretch, each athlete looking for their most appropriate rhythm to perform the test. About kilometer six there was a change of pace by Mayor that only Víctor Fernández could follow. This duel continued until the final meters where the one from the Marina Baixa got a few meters of advantage that earned him to enter the first goal. The winner's time was 23 minutes and 43 seconds. Víctor Fernández was second with a time of 23 minutes and 46 seconds. The third place went to Adrián Hadri with a record of 24 minutes and 1 second.
