The course takes runners along a largely flat off-road path beside the river Ythan and onto the Esslemont Estate, which is usually closed to the public. Once on the estate, the going gets tougher underfoot and you can expect a few surprises as the course includes a series of obstacles — including the now famous (or possibly infamous!) straw bales, killer hills, cargo nets and some waist deep mud thrown in for good measure. A few runners sacrificed their trainers to the mud in the process! Judy came second female with a time of 56.31. Would be good to get a few more harriers up there next year as it’s fantastic fun and they even put a good BBQ on after.
