Welcome to Geordie CaniSports

Passionate Canicross runners in North Tyneside & surrounding areas

About Canicross

Canicross is the sport of cross-country running with dogs. You and your dog are connected by a harness system that allows you to run together as a team. Your dog wears a specially designed harness, you wear a belt around your waist, and you're connected by a bungee line that absorbs the impact of your dog's pulling.

This fantastic sport strengthens the bond between you and your dog while providing excellent exercise for both of you. Dogs love to run and pull naturally, so Canicross channels this instinct into a fun, structured activity that's suitable for all fitness levels and most dog breeds.
