Location Info
Thetford Forest isn’t just a haven for walkers and wildlife, it’s also a key venue for sled dog racing in the UK. Its vast 18,730 hectares of forest tracks, heathland, and shaded pine trails create ideal conditions for dryland sled dog events, where teams of huskies and other sled dog breeds race on wheeled rigs rather than snow.
Events held here attract competitors from across the UK and Europe. The forest’s well-maintained trail network and natural terrain provide a safe, exciting, and scenic environment for both competitive racing and recreational mushing.
During race weekends, visitors can expect to see everything from elite sprint teams to junior and novice classes, as well as opportunities to learn more about the sport, meet mushers, and experience the unique bond between humans and their dogs.
As with all events in Thetford Forest, marshals and safety signage are in place to ensure a smooth and responsible experience for everyone involved.

SHCGB
The Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain (SHCGB) is the UK’s national breed club dedicated to the promotion and welfare of the Siberian Husky. Formed with the permission of The Kennel Club in 1977, the organisation was established to educate owners, encourage responsible breeding and promote the working heritage of the breed in the United Kingdom.
The club brings together enthusiasts, breeders and owners who share an interest in Siberian Huskies, whether for companionship, showing or working activities. It organises Open and Championship dog shows each year and supports winter working rallies where owners and their dogs can participate in harness activities and trail events.
Alongside its events, the club provides guidance on responsible ownership, breeding ethics and the health of the breed. Through education, shows and working activities, the Siberian Husky Club of Great Britain works to preserve the characteristics and traditional capabilities that define the Siberian Husky as a northern working dog.
