But what if your heart longs for something more?



Wouldn’t you love to go on a really big adventure with your best friend?

Even if you don’t fancy racing in a big event, or trying to complete an ultra, there’s nothing more glorious than the freedom of plotting a route on the map then running it together.



Don’t let the guidebooks and groups runs restrict you to well-known routes.

Feel the fear of running in a new place, and take control!

Come on our Adventure Challenge and broaden your canicross horizons.

Saturday 13^th October at the Yorkshire Cycle Hub (£120/person & up to 2 dogs)

• 8.30am registration
• Morning – Attend clinic with a max of 4 people, take a coffee break and then swop round
• Navigation Clinic / Canicross Running Clinic
• Lunch
• Afternoon – Find and run the route with your team mate and collect the stamps! You’ll have a choice of two route lengths (short 4ish miles, long 8ish miles)
