Scores of dogs and their owners run in the woodland at Hestercombe
The 1610 Hestercombe Woodland Wander and Doggy Dash took place on Sunday, March 15 2020.
Around 100 dog owners and their dogs took part in the event. Participants could take part in the 5km run or 2k fun run around the woodlands.
1610 Marketing & Events Executive, Emma Warr, said: "Families, keen runners and dogs all enjoyed the event which, although a bit soggy, was still hugely enjoyable and a lot of fun. It was fantastic to see so many people enjoying exercise with family and friends of all ages in an inspiring location”.
The event is organised by 1610 to encourage local communities to get active and to enjoy the great outdoors in one of the South West’s most beautiful landscapes.
Beautiful handcrafted wooden medals were handed to all finishers with bow ties for the dogs. They also received a free goody bag donated by Monkton Elm Garden & Pet Centre.
