Lakeland Paws: Dogs @ Dodd Double Header
The Lakeland Paws: Dogs @ Dodd Double Header is a canicross event on Saturday 9th May 2026. It is the first event of a finale weekend concluding the 4th season of the Lakeland Paws series. The event takes place in Dodd Wood and offers views of Bassenthwaite Lake and the Northern Fells.
Participants can choose between two courses:
- 8 km with 370m of ascent
- 5 km with 210m of ascent
The routes use a mix of forest roads and trails. The 5 km option is described as shorter with less ascent. The courses are fully marked, and GPX files are available to download. The event uses chip timing.
The event is designed for runners with dogs. Dogs must be run in a suitable harness, and harnesses are available to borrow. Runners are allowed to use two dogs per person, and runners without dogs are also welcome to compete. Individual starts are used to provide space for dogs at the beginning.
A related event, the Lakeland Paws Whinlatter Double Header, takes place the following day, Sunday 10th May, at Whinlatter Forest. Entries for each event must be made separately. The minimum age for participants is 16. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
