Roughly 49 km from Ayr in a straight line, which for most people is an early train rather than a hotel. Whichever race you enter, the programme is built backwards from that date.

Where you can train in Ayr.
Ayr has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky. The thing to look for is not a Hyrox sticker on the door, it is a sled lane long enough to push on, a spare wall for wall balls, and a rower nobody queues for at 6pm.
Chains with a site here: The Gym. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in Ayr actually involves.
Where to train in Ayr
14 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Ayr. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have Citadel Leisure Centre, Dam Park Stadium and Ayr Wattfield Bowling Club, the nearest of them about 0.4 km out. Ring before you join and ask two questions: is there floor space to push a sled, and can you throw a ball at a wall. Those answers decide more than any membership tier.
Citadel Leisure Centre and Dam Park Stadium are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, which tends to be where the sled and carry work ends up happening.
The Gym has a site here, so an existing membership may already cover you. If you are joining from scratch, a rolling monthly contract is worth the few extra pounds while you work out which sessions you actually turn up for.
Where to run around Ayr
Ayr parkrun, roughly 3 km from the centre of Ayr, is your nearest measured 5 km. Free, timed, every Saturday, and the single most useful benchmark you have access to.
A Hyrox is eight kilometre runs with a station between each, which means the skill being tested is running on tired legs, not running fresh. Do at least one session a week where the running comes after the hard work rather than before it.

Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
