Four-legged companion

The Awbridge Half Marathon and 10 mile now welcome our furry friends to run alongside us! That’s right, you can now have your four-legged companion by your side as you conquer those miles. But let’s not forget, with great power comes great responsibility (yes, we’re talking about you, dog owners).

Just a few rules to keep in mind: all dogs must be on a harness throughout the race (Including race HQ) and under the watchful eye of their owners. Plus, be aware that parts of the route may have stiles, free-roaming livestock, and some challenging terrain. Safety is our top priority, so we kindly ask that each runner only brings one dog along for the run.

Suggested resources (Not Mandatory)

• Trail running shoes

• Backpack or waistpack

• Waterproof jacket (in case of inclement weather)

• Mobile phone for emergency contacts

• Capacity to carry 250ml of liquid – kindly bring a collapsible cup or water bottle as we aim to reduce waste (Paper cups will be available for those without)

Race Rules

• If you wish to withdraw from the race, please inform a Marshal for assistance

• No dogs or buggies are allowed on the course with participants due to insurance and permit restrictions

• Participants must be at least 16 years old on the day of the race
