Learn to run with your dog in a beautiful forest setting. Qualified Canicross instructors will lead you through the forest supporting you and your dog to run from 0k to 5k. Build up slowly and have fun with your dog.  

Dogs tend to love Canicross in a group as they are all travelling in the same direction which can lessen anxiety and most dogs love to chase. Equipment can be provided. 

The hugely popular Canicross returns to Dalby.

Following a successful winter series Raw Trails will be back to deliver a three race series starting in December. This is a beautiful route with a variety of hard packed, traffic free trails. Ideal for both dog and owner.
