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!
