Sat 23rd November '19

The western section of King’s Forest mirrors the characteristics of the eastern side, with dense conifer plantations and long forestry access tracks. The area is widely used for equestrian and recreation activities.
Terrain and surface types remain consistent: mostly flat ground with sandy and gravel-based forestry roads.
Course Description
The terrain is mostly flat – though there are some deceptive Norfolk slopes to catch you out!!! The trail surfaces are extremely kind to the dogs, being mainly grass and compact sandy trails, however there may be some stretches of loose flints. Dog Boots should not be needed for fit feet. Exact distances will be dictated by weather conditions over the race weekend.

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.
