BSHRA Rendlesham Forest Chamionship Rally

Event Info
IP12 3NF
Location Info
Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk is a large conifer plantation managed by Forestry England. It contains wide gravel forestry roads, straight plantation corridors and denser woodland sections.
Terrain is mostly flat, shaped by the sandy soils of the wider Breckland landscape. Surfaces are predominantly firm forestry aggregate with some sandy patches under tree cover.
Course Description
Rendlesham forest was largely destroyed by the high winds of October 1987, but the new tree growth is now making the area seem more like forest again! The venue offers wonderful grass trails with short crossover sections of rounded pebbles and also some sandy stretches, and these are unspoilt by forest working – for obvious reasons.
The gently undulating terrain will be enjoyed by all. You might like to bring a compass and map for the many turns !!! Don’t let the many turns put you off, it keeps the dogs happy and adds to the fun of the Rendlesham Rally.

BSHRA
The British Siberian Husky Racing Association (BSHRA) was established in 1996 by a group of Britain’s leading sled dog racing drivers following the dissolution of the British Sleddog Racing Association. The organisation was created to provide a credible national championship dedicated specifically to the racing of purebred Siberian Huskies in the United Kingdom.
BSHRA focuses on administering its annual British Siberian Husky Racing Championship, held across a winter racing season at established venues around the UK. The series brings together experienced mushers and newcomers alike, providing structured competition while maintaining the traditions of Siberian Husky racing.
Alongside the main championship, BSHRA also recognises a range of additional categories including Rookie Musher, Veteran Team and Junior championships. Through these classes and its annual race programme, the organisation supports participation at every level while promoting the athletic ability and heritage of the Siberian Husky in competitive sled dog sport.
