THIS year's Land O’Burns 10k Road Race takes place on Wednesday, May 24.

And organisers have been given a boost ahead of the event with the prize fund being increased to £600 thanks to race sponsors CCL Logistics of Troon.

There will be £100 awarded to the first placed male and female runners as well as the extra spot prizes to be won on the night which consist of £250 in total of Start Fitness vouchers.

Every entrant receives a t-shirt and medal in recognition of their taking part.

The race takes in the shore front at Doonfoot and then winds its way through the south of the town, taking in Burns Cottage en-route to the finish at The Old Racecourse.
