Irvine beach park plays host to Race for Life

Irvine’s Race for Life took place at the town’s beach park last night. 

Nan Dodds, a volunteer at the Troon Cancer Research UK shop, started the race, with DJ Billy Kirkwood providing words of encouragement to the runners before the race.

Around 800 runners took part, raising around £41,000 for Cancer Research UK.
