Canicross

Canicross is an exciting sport where you and your dog form a team and run together. 
Unlike traditional running and just having your dog beside you and just following you, your dog takes the lead, pulling you forward with their energy and their power.

The dog is equipped with a specialized harness connected to a bungee line, which in turn attaches to a running belt, your dog becomes your powerful running partner.

The objective? Cover a specific distance in the fastest time possible.
You’ll be amazed to discover that with a dog pulling you forward, you can achieve speeds up to 30% faster than running solo!
Canicross not only provides a thrilling running experience but also serves as a fantastic entry point for beginners.

The best part? After a canicross session, you’ll notice just how tired and satisfied your dog is.
It’s a win-win situation — you both get to enjoy a fulfilling workout, leaving you energized and your dog happily exhausted.
