Fixtures

With the Hound Racing 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 race meetings take place about 6 times a week throughout Cumbria. Races can also be seen at most summer agricultural shows and sports meetings in the area.
 

2025 FIXTURES

Below is a list of all scheduled races for the 2025 season.  The list is constantly updated throughout the course of the season with trails organised by category including;

  • Standard Races – Organised throughout the course of the season, standard races are the mainstay of the racing calendar where the leagues are won and lost.
  • Major Association Races – The standout dates for hounds, trainers and race layers… be sure to witness the very best compete at these prestigious events in the racing calendar.  Do not miss out!
  • Sports/Shows – Hound Racing is an iconic Lakeland pastime and is therefore frequently showcased at all major sports, shows and festivals throughout Cumbria.  Be sure to catch a race when you next visit.
  • Trial Trails – Trial Races 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.
