ULTIMUTT

TRAILDOG ULTIMUTT
Sunday 22 September 2024


Join us for the ultimutt start to the canicross season! Returning to Northumberland for its third year, work as a team to navigate obstacles and a little bit of mud across a 5k course.

Some obstacles will be announced on social channels as we near to the event and some will be kept a surprise! The paddleboards will be making a return too...

Choose your start time between 11:00 12:00 or 13:00.

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 11 years old to enter the 5k. Dogs must be 1 year old or older.


    The Family Wolfpack Run is for all ages of children up to 16 years old. Please note that children up to 11 years old must be accompanied by an adult.

  • 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 only dogs aged 1 and above participate in the 10k and 5k events.


    If you are unsure whether your dog is fit enough, please consult your vet.

  • Do I need to run?

    Nope! Our events are focused on having fun with your dog in stunning locations. There will be a walking wave, which you can select on registration.

  • 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.

    You can find more information on equipment here

  • Do I need any specialist equipment to enter?

    Every dog is different and every running style is different.


    If you are running in the canicross wave, you must be wearing the correct canicross equipment. For those not running in the canicross wave but still running with your dog, we would advise at least wearing a well fitting y-front harness.


    The walking wave requires no specialist equipment.


    Find out more about equipment and a special offer on our EQUIPMENT page.


    Choke chains, slip leads and restrictive harnesses will not be permitted.

  • How will I receive my running number?

    Running numbers will be available to collect on the morning of the event from TBC.

  • What is included in my entry?

    You will receive a goodie bag jam-packed with a bespoke wooden medal,  dog treats, a human treat, tbc item and a drink.


    Your entry fee also covers medical cover, timing, venue hire, photography and event infrastructure.

  • What is the course like?

    TBC

  • Will there be a mass or staggered start?

    Participants who are running the course will be started in staggered waves (this will be communicated pre-event).

  • Will there be prizes for the winners?

    For this event only, there will be no prizes for placings.


    We will however have spot prizes - to be announced!


  • I can no longer participate, can I get a refund?

    We are able to transfer or refund an entry up until 10 days before the event.


    After this time, we will have ordered all items for the event and therefore we will be unable to change your entry. We are able to send out your items so you can do the event virtually if you'd prefer.
