North American Canicross
North American Canicross (NACC) was founded in June of 2019 for the purpose of promoting canicross as a competitive sport in the United States! Canicross, or cross-country trail running with dogs, came about when the dog sledding community needed a way to cross-train their teams in the off-season. Special harnesses are used to allow the dog to have optimal and comfortable pulling. They are connected by a bungee lead-no longer than 6 feet-which is then attached to a special running belt on their owner. The belt and bungee lead allow for shock absorbency and keep the owner from any back injury. The dog may be pulling, but the owner is the driver! Dogs are taught special commands for things like "left, "right", "slow down", "speed" etc. The objective is for the owner and dog to work as a team to reach the finish line!
