Exercising with your dog is the perfect way for you to both get fit. Not only that, getting fitter together will help create a special bond, ensure overall happiness and well-being for both dog and human and save you time.

The fun part about Canicross is that it is for everyone. It does not matter what your starting fitness level is because, very quickly, running with your dog will become a way of life and very soon you will notice improvements in your own (and your dogs) fitness.

Canicross is the fun, exciting and fast growing sport of off-road running with your dog whilst attached together via a harness, waist belt and bungee line. It offers a fun, social and highly effective way for you both to get fit.

The word canicross is a combination of the words canine and cross-country. The sport originated as a way to keep sled dogs fit during the off season. It grew in popularity in Europe but especially in the UK and canicross groups and competitions are now widespread across the country

It is also the safest way to enjoy running with your dog – specially designed equipment allows you to run hands free and for you both to run comfortably and efficiently.
