Canicross

Canicross

Canicross is running with your dog. You wear a belt and this attaches to your dog via a bungee to a well fitting harness.
There are events all around the UK for all dog breeds. Canicross classes are split by humans rather than dog breeds!
Most events take place off road so you need some good running shoes. All fitness levels are invited along. You will find that many "human" races are now also allowing cancirossers to take part as the sport grows in popularity.

Most events are split into the following classes (some differ slightly)
U8s with one dog and an adult runner
8 to 12 with one dog
13 to 17 with one dog
17 to 39 M/F split with one or two dogs
40-49 M/F split with one or to dogs
50+ M/F split with one or two dogs

Novice classes for young or new dogs to the sport are normally around 2.5km in length
Standard races are 5km
Veteran for older dogs are also 2.5km

Times aren't important if you are enjoying your time with your dog, why not try it.
