CaniX UK attracts all levels of runners from ultra-distance athletes, marathon and fell runners who achieve sub 6 minute mile times to first time runners and those who just enjoy getting as dirty as their dog. No matter what level of runner, all enjoy the camaraderie of our events.

CaniX UK aims to:

  • promote a healthy lifestyle for you and your dog and responsible pet ownership.
  • inform, advise and motivate people of all ages and abilities via the handbook, website and events to achieve their personal health and fitness goals.
  • make people aware of the benefits for both human and dog.
