Location Info
Thetford Forest isn’t just a haven for walkers and wildlife, it’s also a key venue for sled dog racing in the UK. Its vast 18,730 hectares of forest tracks, heathland, and shaded pine trails create ideal conditions for dryland sled dog events, where teams of huskies and other sled dog breeds race on wheeled rigs rather than snow.
Events held here attract competitors from across the UK and Europe. The forest’s well-maintained trail network and natural terrain provide a safe, exciting, and scenic environment for both competitive racing and recreational mushing.
During race weekends, visitors can expect to see everything from elite sprint teams to junior and novice classes, as well as opportunities to learn more about the sport, meet mushers, and experience the unique bond between humans and their dogs.
As with all events in Thetford Forest, marshals and safety signage are in place to ensure a smooth and responsible experience for everyone involved.

BSHRA
The British Siberian Husky Racing Association (BSHRA) was established in 1996 by a group of Britain’s leading sled dog racing drivers following the dissolution of the British Sleddog Racing Association. The organisation was created to provide a credible national championship dedicated specifically to the racing of purebred Siberian Huskies in the United Kingdom.
BSHRA focuses on administering its annual British Siberian Husky Racing Championship, held across a winter racing season at established venues around the UK. The series brings together experienced mushers and newcomers alike, providing structured competition while maintaining the traditions of Siberian Husky racing.
Alongside the main championship, BSHRA also recognises a range of additional categories including Rookie Musher, Veteran Team and Junior championships. Through these classes and its annual race programme, the organisation supports participation at every level while promoting the athletic ability and heritage of the Siberian Husky in competitive sled dog sport.
