Yes! If it involves running I probably do it / have tried it! But I got Zippy specifically for canicrossing (he's not much good as a pet!)

Zippy! I LOVE that name (I’m a bit obsessed with Zippy from rainbow). I got my late vizsla to canicross and co-founded cani-sports Edinburgh - many years ago. Then got my late GSP who was a demon canicrosser. Then I focused more on ultras and trail running. Now I’m back to running for joy. I’ve just adopted a 9 month old wire-haired pointer x spaniel x terrier who is going to be my new adventure buddy. Trail running, canicross, kayaking, hiking, agility… I hope he will do it all. P.S I came here from the Freelance Writers FB group :-)

I haven't heard of the Freelance Writers FB group. I will now join! Did someone post a link to my newsletter? Zippy is great at ultra distance too. We did a 28-mile race earlier in the year. Hope to do more with him in 2025.

I feel your pain. A few years ago I was in third place overall at a parkrun in Italy. In the last lap I missed the turning and the two guys behind me went past me. So now although my result still says 1 female, I didn’t get the 3 overall spot and it always bugs me when I view my parkrun results page.
