Dunham Track is set in the beautiful countryside of Nottinghamshire. It is based on the A57 road linking East Markham to Lincoln.
The track is open Monday through to Saturday and trials take place between 10.00am and 1.00pm. It is advised to contact us to book a trial slot before arrival to ensure availability.
The track itself is brand new and has a circumfrence of 440m, to put this into context, the only other tracks in the country bigger than Dunham are Sittingbourne, Hove and Swindon.
The wide bends are perfectly cambered with long straights which dogs find easy to run first look.
We trial over 275 meters for the sprint, 480 meters for the four bends and 705 meters for the six bend trip.

Trials are all digitally timed using the ALGE TIMING SYSTEM.
Each runner receives a digital print out of the trial (pictured), which records the following splits....
Sprint distance records a sectional to the first bend and the winning line.
Standard distance records a sectional at the winning line first time, the third bend and finally a finishing time at the line.
Stayers distance records sectionals at the first bend, the winning line first time, the fifth bend and finally the finish time.
Each handler receives a computer printed receipt for their own reference and times can also be recorded for future use if necessary.
Our Hare Driver and Track Manager is 'Fuzz' Farrow (pic right). He is responsible for everything to do with the track from the timing mechanism to the hydraulic traps to regrading!
Fuzz is very approachable and will do everything to ensure that your visit to The Dunham Track is worthwhile and benefical.
