“As a Run Reigate “regular”, I was really excited to take part in this new event. I was expecting the usual well-organised event, great experience and a fantastic medal and I was not disappointed. The route was varied – plenty of mud, solid sections, a weir and some good undulations to make it challenging”.

“This was my first trail race and first event with Run Reigate and I was not disappointed. The event was great, really well organised and a super easy process to pick up your race number. The location was absolutely gorgeous and, although challenging, I would say it’s one of the best races I’ve done in terms of views and varying terrain. The amount of dogs enjoying themselves at the event topped the day off perfectly! The only downside is they only do one a year. Would love to see another event here or another trail race in the calendar.”
“Thank you so much for putting on such a great event. By the far the best organised Canicross mixed race, it was very clear on emails and on the day about code of conduct. Fantastic getting medals for the dogs as well as the bars at the end. Marshaling was outstanding!”
“Well organised, esp for canicrossers. Most dog friendly I’ve ever had at an event! Lovely atmosphere, great views and friendly people! Iggy (dog) and I can’t wait for the next one!!!”
“It was my first ever Trail Race and it did not disappoint. Beautiful scenery, not too crowded, a very mixed terrain and a shed load of mud!! A great morning and a feeling of achievement at the end. Thank you also to the marshals who were supportive and encouraging right to the end!!”

ROUTE

Please be advised as this is a multi terrain trail race there are steep declines, a weir to cross and a narrow uneven trim trail included along the route making our Trail Race very exciting!

HOW DO I GET THERE?

Trail and Canicross are based entirely within Gatton Park. Use RH2 0TW or ///dizzy.leaves.grass to get to the venue and then everything will be well signposted for you.

EVENT PARTNERS

Planning your first Canicross race with your dog? Below are some of our top 10 tips to get started!

1. Get the right kit
Use a proper Canicross harness for your dog, a running belt for you, and a bungee line to link you.
2. Prepare beforehand
Check event details — distance, terrain, route, water stops — so you can train and plan your footwear and hydration.
3. Train gradually
Build up both your and your dog’s fitness to avoid injury and ensure you can handle the distance.
4. Arrive early (but not too early)
Get there in plenty of time to warm up, let your dog go to the toilet, and calm down without stress.
5. Use Canicross commands
Practice key commands like “left”, “right” and “with me” to help on technical parts of the course.
7. Be considerate
Let other runners know when you’re overtaking and keep a safe distance.
8. Keep it tidy
Carry bags in case your dog needs to stop mid-race.
9. Plan for after
Pack water, treats, and maybe a shower for a muddy dog after the race.
10. Ask questions if needed
Reach out to our team if you’re unsure about anything.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND AND TRANSFER POLICY?

Refunds:
As with the vast majority of races, we can’t offer a refund unless you select refundable booking at checkout. Please see our participant Terms and Conditions for more information.

Deferrals to future events:
Our deferral policy has had to change in order to sustain our small business going forward. We can no longer support deferrals to the following year. We have always tried our best to be flexible, however this now has to be balanced with finite resources and rising costs. To protect your race place from injury and other unforeseen circumstances, we now have optional refundable booking for 10% of your registration fee. If you choose not to take up this option, please do not ask us for a refund or deferral to another event as we will not be able to do this. Thank you for your understanding.

Change Your Distance / Transfer your place to another runner:
You can transfer your distance or transfer your entry to another runner, simply log in to your registration and select the relevant option on the left-hand menu bar.

IS THERE A TIME LIMIT TO COMPLETE THE RACE?
No, there is no time limit to complete the races and have your finish time recorded. However, please note that two hours after the start our marshals will be stood down. Bear in mind that you will have to walk and run on multi-terrain. All runners are encouraged to continue running and every finisher will be chip timed.
ARE WHEELCHAIR ENTRIES ALLOWED?
Unfortunately due to the nature of the route it is not suitable for wheelchair users.
ARE PUSHCHAIRS / DOGS ALLOWED?

Due to the nature of the course we are not able to accommodate pushchairs, it’s just too narrow in places. Dogs, YES! But they need to run in the Canicross event.

DO YOU HAVE A BAG DROP?
A free bag drop is available for all participants, please see your runner number for how to make use of this.
DO YOU HAVE SHOWERS / CHANGING AREA?
We do not have showers or changing areas at the event so please come ready to run, but make use of that bag drop for a change afterwards!
