DIRTY WEEKEND 2008

The UK's first ever multi-sport adventure sports festival hits the  Scottish Borders
Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 July 2008


Dirty Weekend is the UK's first ever multi-sport adventure sports  festival set in the stunning surroundings of the Tweed Valley in the  Scottish Borders and featuring some classic multi-sport event  formats. It will be staged from Saturday 5 to Sunday 6 July 2008.

Choose adventure racing, mountain biking or trail running from the  selection of well established and brand new events, all based from a  bustling adventure village in the grounds of a Scottish baronial  stately home - Traquair House.

ACE Race – Adventure Race (5/6 July) - over 1 and 2 days - combine  running, biking and kayaking whilst navigating for checkpoints in  challenging terrain

Polaris Challenge – Mountain Bike Navigation (5/6 July) - an off-road  biking challenge held over two days where competitors have to reach  as many checkpoints as possible within the allotted times.

Dirty Dozen – 12K Trail Run (5 July) - Taking to the woods and  forests of the Tweed Valley and providing a superb run on off-road  trails; passing through woodland, crossing rivers, traversing rough  ground and tackling some major ascents (and descents) along the way.

Event organiser's Detail Events place great emphasis on inclusion,  organising events that are not purely the domain of the seasoned  athlete. The Dirty Weekend will see experienced adventure racers,  mountain bike orienteers and proficient fell runners participate  alongside amateur sporting enthusiasts keen to challenge their  fitness levels whilst having a lot of fun along the way.

This is our Dirty Weekend - and we invite you to share it with us!
