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.
