SDAS Culbin Championship Rally
Sat 12th February '05
- Sun 13th Feb '05
Location Info
Culbin Forest in Moray is a large coastal pine plantation managed by Forestry and Land Scotland. It features an extensive network of gravel forestry tracks and sandy trails due to the dune system beneath the forest.
Terrain is predominantly flat with some dune-formed undulations. Surfaces vary between firm aggregate and sandy sections.
Course Description
Great trails, mostly flat and miles and miles of them, with a nice mix of surfaces, from hard packed to grass, and not too muddy (we hope !). The exact distances run will depend on weather conditions, but expect a good work out!

SDAS
The Sled Dog Association of Scotland (SDAS) is a Scottish organisation dedicated to promoting and organising sled dog sports throughout Scotland. Founded in 1991 by Rick Miller, Neil Brown and Keron Miller, the association was the first group to establish a regular calendar of sled dog events in Scotland and helped place the country on the map within the UK mushing community.
The organisation runs a series of races and competitions each season, providing opportunities for both newcomers and experienced mushers to take part in sled dog sport. Events typically include dryland disciplines such as rig racing, scooter classes, bikejoring and canicross, with races often held over two-day formats that contribute to an overall championship series.
Through organised events, membership programmes and a volunteer committee, SDAS supports a community of sled dog enthusiasts across Scotland. The association emphasises sportsmanship, inclusivity and enjoyment of the sport while providing a structured environment for competitors at all levels to train, race and develop their teams.
In the UK sled dog landscape, SDAS functions as one of the main regional racing organisations, particularly focused on Scotland’s dryland racing scene and championship series events.
