In conjunction with Wiltshire Wildlife Trust and their flagship fundraising event (Sarsen Trail sponsored walk,
Neolithic Marathon and Half Marathon), CaniX will be back for the 5th time. We will be offering a 13 mile (21km) long distance CaniX
with the option of the standard 4 mile (6.5km) CaniX (there
will be no 2.5km distance).
Both distances will follow the same linear route as
the Neolithic Half Marathon (Charlton Clumps to Stonehenge). The 13 mile
CaniX will start at 10:30am, half an hour before the half marathon runners
to avoid tangles and the heat of mid day. The 4 mile CaniX will start
at 11am from Bustard Inn, also finishing at Stonehenge.
NB If temperature on the day is too hot (or you decide to leave your dog at home) you will be given the option to run without your dog. For the half marathon CaniX your entry will be transferred to the non-dog half marathon race; for the short course (4 mile route) you will still be allowed to run and will receive a time, medal and listing on the results sheet.
There is a free dog friendly shuttle between the start
and finish for those that do not have anyone to drop them off at the start
and drive their car to the finish.
Electronic ankle timing tags will be issued to all
runners (both distances).
Entry includes medals and lunch vouchers for all at the finish, free entry to Stonehenge.
NB All 13 mile runners
must carry a minimum of 1 litre of emergency water and dog bowl (see Fold-a-Bowl).
It is advised that all 4 mile runners should do the same.
Any dog or person entering the 13 mile long distance
CaniX should be experienced and confident that their dog can cope
with the distance. If you have not entered any previous CaniX UK events,
you must convince CaniX UK that your dog is fit enough to run. CaniX UK
reserve the right to refuse a dog on the start line if deemed unfit.
The route follows the Ridgeway from the start point
to Wexland before turning westward to cross part of the Salisbury Plain
training area to the Bustard Inn and on to Stonehenge. The first half
of the route is an undulating track, the second half is flat with some
grassy footpaths. It can be muddy when wet; dusty and rutted when dry.
Look forward to seeing you
and your pooch.
