The Cyclists vs The Harriers Festive Event
Irvine, United Kingdom • 14 Dec 2025
Event information
The Cyclists vs The Harriers Festive Event takes place on 14 December 2025 and is staged by Irvine Running Club. This is the 65th edition of an event that began in 1959. The course runs over grassland, moorland and pathways with added obstacles in the grounds of Irvine Sports Club and on Irvine Moor. Headphones must not be worn during the race; competitors who ignore this risk disqualification.
Cyclist and runner entries are managed separately. Cyclists must dismount when the course goes over tarmac, cement or other paved ground; failure to do so risks disqualification. Numbers should be worn on the front, and cyclists are asked to make their numbers visible to finish-line officials.
