The Challenge

What is the Border Bogie Challenge?

The Border Bogie Challenge takes place in the beautiful conservation village of Denholm in the heart of the Scottish Borders.

What exactly is the Border Bogie Challenge? It's an insane, fast-paced time trial race down a hill on a typical rural country road, (which will have been closed to vehicles for the duration, obviously!) in a homemade bogie (or a go-kart for those of you who aren't lucky enough to be Scottish).

And don't forget, for those mums and dads who are prepared to endanger their children for the entertainment of others, there will be two kids' runs in the morning for the under-sixteens.

FREE camping is available nearby. Contact us for more details.
