About

I took up running several years ago and during this time we as a family had decided to get a family dog. It was never my intention to start running with my hound but as time passed being followed out the house in my running gear by a dog which I was to leave behind became too much to bear.

After a little while it all became a bit lonely so I started looking for a running club and found Canicross Sussex. Once I had plucked up the courage to actually go I found a group of lovely people who shared the same passion for running with their pooches and that is where my journey began…..

Running with a group one thing which struck me is that there are many of us who have run on our own or with different groups around our areas and no real way of sharing the routes outside of guiding them so this is my attempt just to get a few routes down. Every route has its merits whether it be 5km, 22km or beyond and from experience with the dogs the muddier the better.

If you feel you want to share a route then please do get in contact. All I ask is that you supply a photo, route description including relevant information (location, hazards, water stops, obstacles, parking etc) and if possible a *.gpx or *.tcx which will enable the tech savvy to add to phones/GPSr/watches etc. I’d also like to credit you for the route so please do let me know who you are 🙂
