Run Today, Stronger Tomorrow
Welcome to Tees Valley’s dedicated canicross and canisports community.
We are the only canicross and canisports club based in the Tees Valley area, bringing together runners and their dogs to enjoy the outdoors, improve fitness, and build lasting friendships.
Our non-profit club organises regular weekly runs across the region, including Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar, Sedgefield, Stockton and Guisborough. From woodland trails and country parks to coastal routes, we explore some of the best running locations the North East has to offer.
Whether you’re completely new to canicross, looking to improve your fitness, or training for your next race, you’ll find a welcoming and supportive environment. Our members range from beginners taking their first steps in the sport to experienced athletes competing in canicross, bikejoring and other canisports disciplines.
At the heart of our club is a passion for healthy, active lifestyles and the special bond between dogs and their owners. We believe that every dog-and-human team should have the opportunity to enjoy the physical and mental benefits that canisports provide.
