Walkthrough[]
After speaking to Mera Stormcloak, the Vestige must head to the western part of the city to join the contestants of the Footrace of the Nine Holds, a part of the Konunleikar where contestants race the city walls and try to reach the nine towers, each representing one of the nine holds of Skyrim, as fast as possible. Upon arriving, the Vestige is instructed to light the starting torch, as they are the last to arrive. After the race has started and the Vestige has reached the sixth tower, they will witness fellow contestant Hadring the Swift barely conscious on the ground. They can either help and speak to him, or leave him be to finish the race. If the Vestige speaks to him, he will tell them the following.
"Thanks. It's the rare soul who stops to help an opponent."
- What happened to you? "Treachery. An Orcish arrow. Poisoned. I drank a potion, but it didn't help. I'm finished."
I can help you. "It's too late for me. You need to listen! I saw where the assassin fled. To the south, away from the city. They must be hiding nearby. Avenge me, Champion. Avenge..."
After which he will swiftly succumb to the poison and die. The Vestige must speak to the organizer, Lenning the Hawk, to inform him of what has just happened. He will remark that this hasn't been the first murder taking place in broad daylight that has happened recently, and instructs them to speak to Mera Stormcloak. She will be frustrated by the events, but complements the Vestige on their compassion and rewards them.

I abandoned the race to help Hadring. Unfortunately, he didn't make it. He provided me with useful information before he expired, though. I should speak with Lenning the Hawk.
