Cani Cross

Canicross is the term used to describe the sport of cross country running with dogs. Originated in Europe as off-season training for the mushing (sledding) community, it has become popular as a stand-alone sport all over Europe, especially in the UK. – Wikipedia

Cani Cross is a great sport to take up if you and your dog already enjoy running together. It is more physically demanding than a run around the block and can help your dog and yourself go to a whole new level of fitness. Cani Cross is usually run with up to two dogs.
