North Highland Harriers runner Lorna Stanger completes 14 laps in Ben Bhraggie 24 challenge
Two members of North Highland Harriers were among the 46 runners who set off on the gruelling Ben Bhraggie 24 endurance event on Saturday morning.
The 24-hour challenge, now in its second year, sees competitors complete as many laps as possible of a 5.2-mile loop that climbs 1200 feet up the front of Ben Bhraggie and descends down the back.

Lorna Stanger, returning for a second attempt after retiring last year, completed 14 laps — just under 73 miles in 23 hours — before running out of time to start a fifteenth.
Julie Miller, from Golspie, was the top female runner for the second year running, completing 15 loops to claim the ladies’ trophy.
Jamie McCulloch, also representing the Harriers, was making his debut in the event and completed 10 laps in under 18 hours.
The overall winner was Alexander “Dander” Richardson with 19 laps completed, followed by Nick Ogden with 16 laps.
Three organisations had benefited from the fundraising event, with £600 going to the Assynt Mountain Rescue Team and £200 each to the Golspie Youth Action Project (GYAP) and the Highland Wildcat Trust.
