Location Info
Abbey Cwm Hir is a rural village in Powys, Wales, set among upland farmland, scattered plantations, and the northern edge of the Cambrian Mountains. The area includes quiet minor roads, estate tracks, and woodland paths typical of Mid Wales’ mixed-use countryside.
The terrain is gently rolling with small valleys and open fields, and the local surfaces range from compact gravel to natural earth. Forestry blocks and open farmland create a varied setting well-suited to outdoor events that use estate or farm tracks.
OS grid reference SO 055712. The track to the race site goes up behind the village hall.
Course Description
Hard packed rock, (typical Welsh mountain forest). One or two patches of loose stone, but nothing too dreadful. You are welcome to arrive early and walk or cycle the course in order to decide whether dog-boots are necessary. No really steep hills up or down, but the last half mile is hard (and highly visible from the finish line) uphill slog!

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.
