The Ayrshire 100
Go Solo or Team Up - Can You Cover 100 km this May?
Ayrshire Cancer Support invites you to take part in The Ayrshire 100 - a brand‑new challenge for 2026. In its debut year, we’re encouraging the people of Ayrshire to get active, come together, and support a cause close to home. Whether you take it on yourself or team up with friends, family, or colleagues, it’s a great way to move more and make a meaningful difference in our community.
What is The Ayrshire 100?
The Ayrshire 100 is our brand‑new fundraising challenge, designed to get people across Ayrshire moving this May. You’ll cover 100 km over the full month of May, in whatever way works best for you - walking, running, cycling, swimming, or a mix of everything.
My 100
Take on the full 100 km yourself. Set your own pace, choose your own routes, and track your progress throughout May. It’s a brilliant way to boost your wellbeing while supporting people affected by cancer in Ayrshire.
Our 100
Prefer to do it together? Gather friends, family, colleagues, teammates, or your community group and collectively reach 100 km. Split the distance however you like. Every kilometre your team completes helps make a difference.
Whether you go solo or rally a group, The Ayrshire 100 is all about being active, exploring our beautiful county, and raising vital funds for local cancer support services.

Class Fundraising
Looking for fundraising ideas for your school? The Ayrshire 100 - Our 100 edition is a simple, high‑impact way for schools to support Ayrshire charities while building community spirit.
Get the whole school involved by having each class take on their own “100” challenge and compete to cross the finish line - or register a single class to participate on its own. This is a community-wide challenge, and your school is an important pillar within it.
Scottish schools are committed to ensuring pupils receive at least two hours of physical education per week, making the Ayrshire 100 a perfect way to help pupils get active while supporting local charities.

Company culture plays a major role in employee satisfaction, and nothing brings a team together like working toward a shared goal. With 1 in 2 people affected by cancer, taking part in this challenge is a meaningful way to support the communities your colleagues care about.
Running is having a moment - and you might be surprised how much a 100km-in-a-month challenge appeals to your team. It’s achievable, energising, and a powerful way to unite your workplace behind a cause that matters.
