Fixtures

With the Hound Trailing season beginning in April and ending October there are plenty of opportunities to see the hounds run at a venue near you. There are five main events in the season: May Day, the Dog Produce, the Bitch Produce, the August Premier and the October meeting. During the season, ordinary hound trail meetings take place about 6 times a week throughout Cumbria. Trails can also be seen at most summer agricultural shows and sports meetings in the area.

2024 FIXTURES

Below is a list of all scheduled trails for the 2024 season.  The list is constantly updated throughout the course of the season with trails organised by category including;

  • Standard Trails – Organised throughout the course of the season, standard trails are the mainstay of the trailing calendar where the leagues are won and lost.
  • Major Association Trails – The standout dates for hounds, trainers and trailers… be sure to witness the very best compete at these prestigious events in the trailing calendar.  Do not miss out!
  • Sports/Shows – Hound Trailing is an iconic Lakeland pastime and is therefore frequently showcased at all major sports, shows and festivals throughout Cumbria.  Be sure to catch a trail when you next visit.
  • Trial Trails – Trial Trails are held in the close season and are a great way to bring the hounds up to peak fitness along with allowing new Pups the opportunity to practice ahead of the season.
