What's the point if you don't get a time 🕰️ 🤓

The point is you get to run / hike , experience trails that are not open to anyone (trust us we have a farmer to
Negotiate) .. trails that are steeped in history ..

You start at the bear 🐻 gates which are normally only open when a king is in reign (this is the first year that's happened ).

You run under a yew tree circle that are thousands of years old .

You run round Scotland's largest hedged maze with a guide to not get lost or run head on into an other dog 🐕

You run past Traquair house and through the stunning gardens , the house that Mary queen of Scot's once stayed, over 400 years ago.

This is not a bog standard country park , or park run route .

This is a course that has been designed with adventure , sense of achievement and escapism that is fun , challenging yet achievable with a dog in mind.

Your dog doesn't know nor care if you are given a time or place . Your dog does however care that inside you are less anxious or nervous or secretly raging that the chick form the other club who you always beat has now got herself a massive pointer and thrashed by you.

Your dog will love the lack of pressure , the fact you all get a medal at the end, or that you are running with friends. Your dog will appreciate the team work and effort required to cross the quair together.

Your dog will appreciate to run on ground that is kind / soft and trails exciting to them.

So before you write ✍️ Ruff Dugger off because your now "competitive " from a multiple British Champion who has raced world wide - trust me this event is something for all .

And if your still too good to take part we are always welcome 🙏 to those deeply involved in the sport helping out and supporting others . So don't miss out .

Unlike other canicross events , Ruff Dugger you can enter as a "team" and run with your friend .. this works out cheaper than individual entry . It also makes it so much more fun , especially if they fall in the mud before you 😈
