Organiser's Description

We would like to welcome you back to Dalry's 12k road race which is organised through the Community Development Hub and supported by the Dalry Sports Club as a community event for the local and surrounding areas. 

Our main sponsor this year is DSM- Firmenich and our other sponsors will be advertised on the day of the race.

This year we are supporting our local Food larder and if you feel you could help we would love it if you could donate on the day, a tin (fruit, veg, soup etc) or dried food such as pasta or rice,

THE RACE

The race will be held on Sunday the 23rd of June 2024 at 10am and is limited to 200 entries. Entrants should be aged 17 and over on the day of the race and by entering you are confirming you understand that participation at this event is at your own risk.

THE ROUTE

The race starts at Dalry Public Park in North Ayrshire and runs up Blair Road, around Auchinskeith, along the walls of the Historic Blair House and back to the park. It is a hilly scenic route and uses some narrow roads therefore will be unable to accomodate walkers or dogs.

A map will be put up onto our local facebook page nearer the time. dalrycommunitydevhub.co.uk 

The road will not be shut during the race so runners require to be vigilant. The route will be well marked and there will be Marshalls at road crossings and other key points along the route so please ensure you obey their directions. Please do not wear headphones during the race.

There will be a waterstation around 7kms into the race at the entrance to Blair House. Please also bring your own water as it may be a warm day.

The route is challenging and hilly and the terrain can vary throughout the race and as it is a road race we cannot rule out any pot holes or uneven surfaces so please run with due care.

There will be a sweeper and safety car at the back with a first aider and they can offer minimal first aid if required.

A first aider will also be based in the park.

RACE START

Race numbers can be collected from the Sports Pavillion in the park from 8.45am onwards. Please write your emergency contact on the back.

Perfect Timing are covering our event this year and timing chips will be on the bibs. If you do not finish the race for whatever reason, please inform one of the Marshalls on the route.

As the race has a narrow path at the beginning of the route it will be a staggered start and you will be placed depending on your estimated finishing times. Please follow instructions on the day.
