Experience the stunning Ayrshire Coast from sunset to sunrise.  Enjoy running on beaches, promenades and trails. Spot the aid stations glowing up like Blackpool illuminations from miles away. 

At our inaugural Run Llama event we aim to create an enjoyable inclusive and exciting experience for runners and their families – we might even take some song requests for the aid stations.

This is a fantastic opportunity for those looking attempt their first ultramarathon.  It’s also an opportunity for those more seasoned runners, racing later in the year, to hone their night running skills in a safe environment.
