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!
