Canicrosscross-country trail running with dogsoriginated as a way for the dog sledding community to keep their teams fit during the off-season. The sport first gained popularity in Europe, with the United Kingdom leading efforts to formalize and promote it. North American Canicross defines the sport as trail running with one or two dogs, who are always attached to the runner. The dogs wear non-restrictive, free-motion harnesses that connect near the base of the tail to a bungee or elastic line. The runner wears a hands-free waist belt, creating a secure, team-oriented setup for shared movement on the trails.
