Organiser's description
The majestic Salcey Forest is a former medieval hunting forest nestled in the Northamptonshire countryside. This magnificent woodland has many miles of ancient wood banks, building remains and ancient trees. The ‘druids’, or veteran oaks, are rare and amazing wildlife habitats, and some of the old oaks are over 600 years old. What better place to hunt down a trail run!
The run takes place on a 7km loop of trails that wind gently through the woods. It’s pretty flat be flat, but don’t be fooled there will be some sections of grass and the possibility of some mud and puddles to splash through. Appropriate clothing/footwear must be worn.
If you're taking part in the Canicross, you and your dog must be physically fit to participate. All dogs taking part must be wearing a suitable running harness attached to a bungee line and waist belt. (Dogs will not be accepted into the event with their leash attached to their collar)
