    The funds raised from this campaign will go towards the club purchasing mushing harnesses, bungee leashes and belts to loan to new people so they can experience the difference 'fit for purpose' gear makes.

    What is Canicross?


    Canicross is a sport where you run with your dog (as a team) while attached to them with a specialized harness, bungee cord and running belt. It's a great way to exercise with your dog and build a stronger bond with them.


    What is Canihiking?

    Canihiking is the same as Canicross, just at a more relaxed pace. You are still attached to your dog and they wear a specialized harness and bungee cord. Often the human belt is wider, has more padding, and other options like pouches etc.


    Here are just a few of the many benefits

    Benefits of canicross (for both humans and dogs) include better cardiovascular endurance, increased strength and agility, and the release of endorphins, which can lower stress levels and improve mood. Weight management, mental stimulation, increasing confidence, enhanced socialization skills, motivation, and connecting with the natural environment. Additionally, canicross promotes stronger communication skills between owner and dog, which can be applied to other areas of life. The sport also provides a fun and social way to meet other dog owners (and of course their dogs) build friendships, and explore new trails and outdoor areas.
