CaniX (canine — cross-country) means running with your dog (any breed). If you are already running with your dog/s — you already do CaniX!

We cater for all shapes and sizes, any breed and all fitness levels — canine and human. Humans from the age of seven and dogs from the age of one onwards can enter. At certain events, short courses are set for under elevens to enter on the day (not for competition). See Guidelines: Distances and age restrictions.

Previous events have included vision impaired entrants running with a human guide, hearing impaired entrants running with their Hearing Dogs, people who have had a triple heart by pass, 10km/ marathon/ ultra-endurance athletes, to kids, have-a-goes and those that just love to do things with their dogs.
