LISTEN: Lossie raft race looks for wave of support from the local community
Always a popular feature in the calendar, the esplanade's set for Sunday's 'Olympics-themed' race.
The Lossie Raft Race takes place this Sunday (7th of August) with several teams vying for honours in the traditional DIY nautical tussle.
Once again, MFR Cash For Kids is a nominated charity, and also defending the Fleetwood Trophy which they won in 2015's 'Battle of Britain' themed event.
This year - right in time for RIo - it's an Olympic theme for 2016, and as organiser Ollie Harbridge explains, the event is usually keenly contested:-
The event takes place on the estuary of the River Lossie, starting at the old wooden bridge, out to a buoy, and then back to the back to the bridge.
The competition is set to start at 15:00hrs.
