Dogged sponsors will find opportunities offered by Canix UK well worth going the distance for

CaniX (short for canine - cross country) means running on foot with your dog. No special training or equipment is needed. CaniX UK caters for all shapes and sizes, any breed/cross and all fitness levels - canine and human.

There is no handicap for the size or breed of dog, as most can run faster than their human teammate. CaniX UK attracts all levels of runners from ultra-distance athletes, marathon and fell runners who achieve sub-6 minute mile times on cross-country terrain to those who just enjoy getting as dirty as their dog. No matter what level of runner, all enjoy the camaraderie of CaniX UK events.

CaniX UK aims to    promote a healthy lifestyle for owner and dog and responsible pet ownership    inform, advise and motivate people of all ages and abilities via the handbook, website and events to achieve their personal health and fitness goals    make people aware of the benefits for both human and dog.
