In beautiful sunshine and mild temperatures, around 550 runners from all over the world started on Saturday, 9 October 2021, for the toughest race in northern Germany: 43^rd Harz-Gebirgslauf - around 1000 metres in altitude, quarter or marathon distance of 12 or 42 km with stony, endurance-challenging climbs and picturesque views.

We were successfully represented by the sporty Katronic-CEO Karsten Frahn. Karsten, who has always taken part since the 2^nd Harz-Gebirgslauf, completed the 12 km distance with an overall time of 01:07:39, finishing in a worthy 17^th place in the 55+ age group and 172^nd place in the overall men's ranking. 

We congratulate Karsten Frahn on his excellent performance and look forward to the Harzgebirgslauf with a larger number of participants in 2022!
