What Is Canicross?
Canicross is cross-country running with one or more dogs attached to the runner via a waist belt and bungee line. Originating as off-season training for sled dog teams, canicross has grown into a competitive sport with dedicated races worldwide. Runners and dogs work as a team, navigating trails, forests, and hills together. MushingPlan helps canicross athletes track every run, monitor their dog's fitness, and train with data-driven precision.
