Hanni was home from Germany this weekend for a family function and squeezed in a race on her flying visit.
The Hopton 10k offered some boggy Sunday fun for 5 Harriers. With steep uphills and fast downhills through sodden woodland, it was a fun muddy race with no clock watching pressure.
Will Stewart was the first Harrier home with a time of 47:43. April Stewart was 2nd lady with 49:27 and James O’Rourke got 51:52. Hanni Maeer and Nigel Rigg crossed the line together in 1:07:29.
