Part of Sportember!
River Ayr Way was opened in 2006 and is now attracting around 100,000 people to walk it each year. We have a number of events along the River Ayr Way throughout the year but the River Ayr Way Challenge is the most popular and by far the most challenging event.
Walkers and ultra runners are invited to walk or run the route. Runners are asked to run the route over one day and walkers cover 22 miles per day, completing the Challenge in 2 days.
Each year the River Ayr Way Challenge organisers choose a charity and many of the participants choose to take part in the Challenge as a sponsored event.
In 2008 the River Ayr Way Challenge raised over £4500 for Cancer Research UK
In 2009 £4200 was raised for the Fairy Box Charity
This year’s chosen Challenge charity is Scottish Cancer Support who offers support for cancer sufferers and their families – www.scottishcancersupport.org.uk Registered charity number: SCO33252
Teams or individuals are welcome to enter. Get your friends or colleagues involved, enter a team, raise funds for Scottish Cancer Support and discover some of the most beautiful scenery that Ayrshire has to offer. Walkers are expected to complete the Challenge in 2 days completing 22 miles per day
