About the race
River Ayr Way Ultra Marathon is a 40-mile off-road endurance race from Glenbuck Loch near Muirkirk in East Ayrshire to Riverside Stadium in Ayr, Scotland. Organised by East Ayrshire Leisure Trust, it offers runners a scenic Ayrshire route with mostly rural, off-road sections and some quiet road segments, finishing with the final miles on tarmac. The event features checkpoints every 10 miles with fruit, cold drinks, and a friendly welcome, plus water stations every 5 miles.
Drop bags can be left at checkpoints and rucksacks are conveyed to the finish, with transport arranged to the start. A companion Ultra Marathon Relay is also available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
