Lakeland Paws: Dogs @ Dodd Double Header
Keswick, United Kingdom • 9 May 2026
Lakeland Paws: Dogs @ Dodd Double Header is a canicross race held at Dodd Wood in the Lake District. The day features two fully marked forest routes: an 8K loop with about 370 meters of ascent and a shorter 5K option with around 210 meters of climbing. Runners navigate forest roads and trails with stunning views across Bassenthwaite Lake to the Northern Fells. The course uses wide trails and allows two dogs per runner, though some narrow sections and a steep final descent require careful pacing. It’s chip-timed, GPX files are available, and harnesses can be borrowed if needed; dogs may run with or without runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
