AYR’s Go! Festival has been dubbed by Race Director John Lloyd as one of the best he has yet run with competitors from as far away as the USA and Switzerland taking part and a Canadian Police Pipe Band also involved, writes Stewart McConnell.
He said “I have organised races and events across the UK and run in races across the world and few come close to what the people of Ayr produced on Saturday.”
More than 1,000 runners entered the races and nearly 500 cyclists joined the Family Cycle. The race routes showed off the historic sites around Ayr and Alloway and was voted a big hit with the runners. On a beautiful night we finished with a spectacular air display and beach fireworks. The day was quite simply stunning and we will definitely be back next year.”
