TRAILDOG MultiSport
Saturday 14 & Sunday 15 September

 ** Date moved from Sunday 5 & Monday 6 May**
Take on a TRAILDOG triathlon, duathlon or aquathlon with your dog!

We are travelling to the fantastic North Yorkshire Water Park to bring you a whole weekend of Multi Sport events and watersports.

Choose between triathlon (swim - bike - run), duathlon (run - bike - run) , aquathlon (swim - run) or canicross.

There is on site camping available in an exclusive TRAILDOG camping field and all participants will receive a discount code in their sign up email,  to take 20% off any watersports booked online across the weekend (please see North Yorkshire Water Park to see what's on offer).

Camping will be available from Friday 13th September, with the events on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September; leaving the afternoons free to explore the water park and try out some watersports including the on site Aqua Park and SUP With Your Pup.

We don't care how fast or slow you are, we just want you and your four-legged best friend to enjoy the adventure (with the added bonus of an awesome goodie bag).

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How old do I need to be to participate?

    You must be 16 years old to enter the 5k. Dogs must be at least 1 year old for aquathlon and canicross and 18 months for duathlon and triathlon.


  • I have never ran with my dog, can I enter?

    Dogs love to run, but just like humans, dogs need to work up to a running distance. Please take your dog's training seriously.


    We ask that you are competent on a bike if participating in an event that involves this.


    We strongly recommend practicing swimming with your dog.

  • Do I need to run?

    Nope! Our events are focused on having fun with your dog in stunning locations.

  • What are the rules for participating?

    The emphasis of our events is to have fun with your dog in the great outdoors. However, to make this an enjoyable event for all, please follow the below guidelines:

    • If your dog is reactive, please ensure your dog is wearing a muzzle. This must be baskerville style, allowing the dog to pant and drink.
    • Please refrain from attending if your dog has recently developed a cough.
    • Please be respectful to other participants, don't allow your dog to lunge at others - some dogs can be anxious.
    • When passing others on the course, choose a time when you have plenty space and make them aware you're going to be passing.

    There is a kit list on the event page.

  • Do I need any specialist equipment to enter?

    Please see the EVENT GUIDELINES section on the MultiSport page.
