Canicross : Running has gone to the dogs...


Running has gone to the dogs quite literally! In most races, dogs are usually banned and for good reason. However in the UK and in Europe, there is a sport called 'Canicross' which is a cross country race for runners and dogs. Turning the usual rules on their head, you can't take part unless you have a dog.


Before today, I had never heard of this sport so I presume there isn't one in Ireland. It's probably just a matter of time though :o)

The BBC had a news story about it today.
