    You'd be better off emailing the organisers. However, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're ok with putting other competitors, yourself and your dog in danger.

    No - Definitely not Sweet Jones.

    Too many folk and obstacles to have a dog amongst it all

    Almost certainly, Insurance won't cover a race with a dog in it.....anyway, pacers are frowned upon! :D

    Yeah, makes sense. However, in the Run Amuck promo video there is a scene with someone going down a slide into a puddle with a Dalmatian.

    If you get a reply from the organisers will you let me know- I'd be interested. There is a load of off road races in UK that allows dogs to run (on lead).
    I think I'd have to carry my fella through the mud baths though.

    Some involved has already said it's not going to happen. It's just asking for trouble with regards to your safety, other competitors and the dogs.

    Quick question guys, is there any point in the race where your head will be submerged in water? Trying to convince a friend whos a bit paranoid about water to do this!

    Well someone did bring their dog, a husky puppy on a lead. pretty dangerous in my opinion but the organisers didnt stop them.

    Great course, never laughed so much during a race but the organisation was brutal apart from registration which was painless.

    The starting pen was overcrowded, boarding on dangerous (people climbing in when it was closed didnt help) Wonder woman injured her leg in a ditch and a steward just stood there offering no help. We were in the car park to the right were nearly every car had to be pulled out by a tractor or pushed out by 6 or 7 people. Took us an hour to get out of car park.
