Event summary

Get ready for an exciting day of Canicross racing at the Bedgebury Spring 10k & 5k Canicross Challenge, taking place on Saturday, February 3, 2024, in the beautiful surroundings of Cranbrook. Organized by Nice Work, this event promises to be a fantastic experience for both novice and experienced runners alike. Since its inception in 2017, this picturesque race has sold out every year, showcasing the stunning undulating forest paths of Bedgebury Forest. Participants will have the choice between two thrilling distances: the challenging 10k course, which consists of two laps, or the shorter 5k route, perfect for those looking for a brisk run.

As you and your furry friends navigate the trails, you'll enjoy a traffic-free environment, though do keep an eye out for other forest users and bicycles. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, all dogs must be kept on leads and under control at all times. Runners will be set off in waves every minute, creating a fun and organized atmosphere. Every finisher will receive a bespoke medal, and of course, our four-legged participants will be rewarded with dog treats! Don't miss this chance to be part of the South East Canic
