The Hartley Relays is a fun event for clubs in the east of Scotland. Organised by different clubs on a rotating basis (this year was Anster Haddie's turn), the race consists of teams of six, with each runner running two legs of 1 mile each. Teams often consist of adults and juniors, and the event is a great social outing.
Thanks to Monica Thomson for the following race report: Three Senior teams took part in this fun event in chilly sunshine today. Our Men’s team (with three borrowed Juniors), Strathearn Sleuths claimed 1st prize with an overall time of 57:06 mins and re-claimed the trophy for 2025. Strathearn Slicks Men's team recorded an overall time of 102:03 mins and were 5th out of 9. Strathearn Striders Mixed team were 112:21 mins and were 7th out of 21. Thank you to all who helped! Marta, Emma K, Mr Maskell and to Marieke for fab photos capturing the action.
