Canicross

In March 2008 CaniX UK ran the first ever cani-cross event at Crufts, the largest dog show held in the world.

In Italy canicross is sanctioned by the CSEN (sports promotion organisation officially recognised by the Italian National Olympic Committee),[6] and also by privately held circuit FISC.

Canicross, sometimes referred to as urban mushing, caniXC, or caniX, is lesser known in the United States, but most prevalent in cooler climate areas.

It is gaining momentum through organizations such as North American Canicross, the United States Federation of Sleddog Sports, regional sled dog clubs, and Kenosha Running Company.

North American Canicross offers a Titling Program where members can record mileage and races and earn challenge coins.
