Beagle Racing is starting up again on Sunday 29th March, at the earlier time of 2.15. If you’ve got a Beagle and you’re within reasonable travelling distance of Kincardine Bridge then it’s not to be missed! The great thing about it is that every dog has a chance of winning something sooner or later – whether they’re a speed demon or not – because some races are handicapped. You can see photos and video clips of last season’s racing by browsing our Beagle Racing category here (there are quite a few pages, so keep hitting the Previous Entries link at the bottom of the page to work back through them).

The races are held on a short, straight & fenced track at Inch Farm, which is pretty close to  Longannet Power Station ( FK10 4AA). Here are rough directions if you’re coming from the Glasgow/Edinburgh side of the Firth of Forth:

After you cross Kincardine bridge keep following the road around to the right (following the coast). After a short distance you’ll come to a roundabout. Take the third exit (towards Longannet Power Station). A short distance down the road (perhaps 100m) you’ll see a farm road on the right. There will be cars parked in the field and Whippets & Beagles. Turn down the farm road and then an immediate left onto a muddy, bumpy track. Go straight past the little bit of parking on the left and drive into the field to park.

You can also take a look through the club’s forums here. Don’t be alarmed by all the Whippet stuff, you’ve got the right place! The track is used primarily by the Caledonian Thistle Pedigree Whippet Racing Club, but they let the Beaglers have a go too.
