Canicross

How old does my dog need to be?

Your dog needs to be 12 months old to take part. No in-season dogs are allowed to compete.

Do I need a harness for my dog?

Yes, you do. There are a variety of harnesses available to suit different breeds of dog. The harness is generally attached to a waist belt you're wearing with a bungee cord. At our events we also allow runners to have dogs on a lead attached to a harness. A collar, slip leads, choke leads or any harness which restricts movement or is designed to stop your dog pulling must not be used.

My dog is not very sociable, can I still take part?

Canicross can be great for nervous dogs or rescue dogs with poor recall. That said competitors are responsible for the conduct of their dog during the event and no abuse to dogs is allowed. 

Can I run with two dogs?

One dog per runner is allowed.

This was a great event ang the marshals and all staff were so helpful and supportive. I even got a lift to the start when the public bus was delayed. Amazing event. Timothy C

What an amazingly enjoyable and well-run event! From anxious arrival to sweaty finish, this was organised and executed so well. The marshalls were incredible, the route directions were clear and simple, the aid stations - at the start, during and after - were well-stocked and with lots of choice, and the route was beautiful. Thanks for giving everyone such a fun and memorable day - all of your prep and hard work gave us an incredible race day to remember. See you at the next one! Adam S
