Course Description
Bowland Trails is a young woodland which is specifically dedicated to running Huskies. The trails offer a wide variety of challenge and fun to both dogs and mushers with the odd view and a bit of wildlife thrown in.
The planned trail will be mostly grass, very hilly and hard going, depending on weather there may be a short section of hard-packed road (not hazardous to fit feet).
