Wimbleball Trail Run & Canicross
The Wimbleball Trail Run and Canicross events take place as part of the wider Wimbleball Sports Festival and use traffic free trails around Wimbleball Lake in Exmoor. The programme brings together runners, families and dog friendly racers for short trail distances set in countryside surroundings and a festival atmosphere.
Distances and race types include:
- 5K trail run
- 10K trail run
- Under 12 Trail 5K
- 5K Canicross
- 10K Canicross
Courses are fully marked and maps and a race manual are provided to participants. The events are described as professionally organised and family friendly, with specific junior and canicross options so children and dog teams have dedicated race formats. The trail routes combine countryside views with the wider festival activity that includes triathlon, lake swimming, cycling, aquabike and aquathlon.
Organisers state a focus on reducing environmental impact. Initiatives include a transition to cupless events, optional medals with a charity donation if participants opt out, reuse of leftover food, and steps to minimise single use plastics. The event information notes a welcoming festival atmosphere, a memorable finish area and an emphasis on clear race organisation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
