The annual Run The Blades trail running festival incorporates three distances: a 10k on the Friday evening, 50k ultra on Saturday and half marathon on the Sunday.
Turning out in Bella blue on the Friday evening were four Harriers: Marianne Wilson was first Harrier home in an impressive 45:08 on a very tough course.
Fine runs from Alastair Patience (53:16), Sarah Henderson (58:09) and Sally McLintock (58:11) rounded up the remaining results for the 10k.
Greig Corr-Macleod took on the huge challenge of the 50k Ultra distance on the Saturday.
A gritty performance from Greg resulted in an excellent 12th place overall, with a great time of 4:04:38!
Representing the club at Sunday's Half Marathon was Magda Thomas.
Magda performed really well over a demanding half marathon course, crossing the line in a creditable 2:03:13.
🥉 GRANITE GRIT
The club has enjoyed some impressive performances on the track in recent months, and this fine form continued at the Aberdeen AAC Summer Open.
Club athlete Fraser Armstrong took part in the 5000m event.
A gutsy run from Fraser saw him slash 30 seconds off his 5000m PB.
Fraser's superb time of 15:20:10 scooped the bronze medal on the day.
