BSA
British Sleddog Activities (BSA) was a UK sled dog organisation that provided an affiliation framework for clubs and independent organisers wishing to run races and rallies under a shared banner. The organisation allowed events to operate within a recognised structure while supporting cooperation between smaller teams and organisers.
Several clubs and event organisers staged races under the BSA banner, particularly within the UK dryland racing community. The organisation helped facilitate sled dog competitions during a period when the sport was spread across multiple smaller groups.
BSA is no longer active, and the organisation appears to have ceased operations. Many organisers who once ran events under its banner now participate in races organised by other UK sled dog associations.
