CaniX

CaniX is cross-country running with your dog for all breeds, any size, big or small. This can be done with collar and lead or for greater comfort for you and your dog and hands-free running, with a CaniX waist belt for you, CaniX line and CaniX harness for your dog. CaniX events cater for 1 or 2-dog teams and most races are over +/- 5km distance with a short course (1km+) for the kids and adults who want to have-a-go. CaniX cater for all human ages young and old with races divided into 10 age classes (+ Have-a-go Class).

NEW! ParaCaniX (wheelchair)

ParaCaniX caters for wheelchair users who want to get involved with their dog (for all breeds). You may choose between a 1-dog or 2-dog team but both options run under the same class; and have the option of an additional human on foot on your team for assistance on hills and muddy sections. Dogs must run in harness with a bungee line attached to the wheelchair. Most races will be run over the same course as the CaniX, unless the terrain is too difficult to negotiate where an alternative route will be found – ParaCaniX will also have the option of the short course where you will run under the Have-a-go Class. To enter you must be 17+ with races divided into male and female classes.

Bikejor

Bikejor is mountain biking with your dog for all breeds, any size, big or small. Dogs must run in harness with a bungee line attached to the front of the bike. Bikejor events cater for 1-dog teams only and most races are over +/- 5km distance. To enter you must be 17+ with races divided into male and female classes.

NEW! Scooter

Scooter Class caters for owners of specialised off-road scooters designed to be used with a dog (for all breeds). You may choose between a 1-dog or 2-dog team but both options run under the same class. Dogs must run in harness with a bungee line attached to the front of the scooter. To enter you must be 17+ with races divided into male and female classes.

5XC

5XC is cross-country running (without a dog) over +/- 5km distance. To enter you must be 17+ with races divided into male and female classes. This was introduced for couples/friends that attend the events and want to run but only have one dog and those that enter the CaniX but for some reason their dog is unable to run (comes into season, recovering from injury) – in this case you will be able to swap your entry on race day.
