FKT: Elliot Williams - River Ayr Way (UK) - 2025-12-07

I ran the River Ayr Way solo carrying all of my food and water. I have run part of the route before as part of the RAW challenge race but wanted to complete the whole trail from source to sea. It was a challenging run due to the wet conditions underfoot with a lot of slippery, muddy sections, which made it slow going at points. The second half of the run was also very wet with some flooded sections on the roads in the latter stages. The delays meant finishing in the dark with the last section coming into Ayr lit by head torch. Despite the conditions, it was an enjoyable experience and a great sense of achievement to finally complete the whole route.
