50 Mile Challenge - Racing Welfare

Ayr Racecourse's grounds team are taking on a challenge to raise vital funds for charity. By donating to this fundraiser you are supporting Racing Welfare.

Starting on Friday 12th May they aim to walk an amazing 50 miles, pitching their tents and camping along the way, starting in the hills near Barr, heading towards Ballantrae, and once at the coast follow the Ayrshire coastal path back towards Ayr Racecourse, finishing with a lap of the track and crossing the finishing line as a winning team.
