Muddy boots, wagging tails, and miles of Cotswold trails.
Rather Be Canicrossing is a friendly community running club for you and your dog — based in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and The Cotswolds.
Joining is easy
and you can try before you commit.
Come along to a run and see if it’s for you before signing up. Our membership is deliberately low cost because we believe canicross should be accessible to everyone. Once you’re in, you’ll get access to free training sessions, social runs, hikes, and member discounts — plus a whole community of people who’d genuinely rather be canicrossing.
We’re a friendly bunch
Our pack and run leaders are the heart of Rather Be Canicrossing.
Experienced, welcoming, and always happy to help newcomers find their feet. Have a look and get to know the faces you’ll see on the trails.
Train together, improve together.
Whether you’re lacing up for your first canicross run or looking to push your times, we run regular training sessions for all abilities.
Completely free for members. Our run leaders are certified canicross coaches, so you’re in good hands. We also love a good social run, a long hike, and anything else that keeps us and our dogs happy and moving.
Coached by the best
Some of our run leaders hold certified canicross coaching qualifications, so every session is led by someone who knows their stuff.
