Last weekend we went all the way up to the West coast of Estonia. 2017-10-14/15

IFFS World Cup Races event – Baltic Cup IV took place at a beautiful Jõulumäe Recreational Sports Centre with a history of over 40 years.

Lithuanians came back with 6 Gold, 3 Silver medals, 1 Bronze and other great results!
Track was of full 5 km x 2 days. Nice skiing tracks in a pine-woods.

3 dogs from kennel UPE were participating. All experienced good sport dogs with passion, power and speed:
Bogdan & and Invi (Callidus Invictum UPE) – FIRST in Canicross category! Gold from 14 men, Elite class!

Hard work from both of them. Giving it all

Invi is really giving all of him

Beautiful smile at the Finish line. First day with 5 km done

Second day was a new experience for our Team – massive Canicross Start. I am not a big fan of this idea but was interesting to see it live.

First set was done by fastest runners after the First day’s results. 10 fastest runners:
