Cairn Table Hill Race

Muirkirk, United Kingdom • 16 Jul 2025

The Cairn Table Hill Race is a challenging 7.2km hill race held in East Ayrshire, Scotland, starting from the Walkers Car Park in Muirkirk. This event takes runners up one of Ayrshire's finest hills, featuring rough, unmarked terrain that requires fell shoes and self-reliance, as there is no course marking or support along the route. The race is chip timed and emphasizes safety, with participants encouraged to assist others in distress. There are no water sources on the course, so runners must prepare accordingly. The event is organized by East Ayrshire Leisure Trust and offers a competitive yet adventurous atmosphere for experienced hill runners.
