An activity to discover
Canicross is a sporting activity that allows you to keep your team (you & your dog) in shape! This activity is practiced on foot, running on trails with your dog attached to a harness, performing the same physical effort together. Canicross is the ancestor of skijoring. It is now practiced as a sport in its own right. Several enthusiasts meet to practice it and also to participate in 2,3, 5 & 10 km competitions.
GUIDES CANINS offers organized outings to introduce you to the sport, to motivate you to practice the sport in a gang, and to, from time to time, offer you mini-clinics on warm-ups and stretching, training, conditioning and performance programs.
Take note
The outings take place rain or shine (when it is not too hot for the dogs!) on our trails at our training center at 1200A Montée Poirier in Saint-Lazare. You are welcome to participate in all the outings or just a few, we will announce news of the outings on our Facebook group.
The cost of outings is $6.96+ tx, payable at the reception upon arrival. This cost includes access to the trails, a short introduction to the sport (for the first outings) and the outing itself. You do not need to reserve your place or confirm your attendance.
You must plan to arrive before to fill out the form and pay the access rights, to rent or buy the equipment or if you need instructions or advice on practicing sports.
To practice the sport, you will need the basic equipment including a well-fitting harness, a bungee and a comfortable belt.
If you are not already equipped, we have the necessary equipment for sale on site. It will cost approximately $150 to equip your team.
You can also rent the equipment if you want to try before you buy. Equipment rental is $6.96 + tx per outing. This $6.96 + tx will be applied as a credit if you decide to purchase the equipment.
