Triangle NC May Canicross Meetup

Welcome to the Triangle NC May Canicross Meetup! This Month we will be meeting for a fun morning of canicross at the beautiful Wake Forest Reservoir Soft Trails on Sat, May 18, 2024 at 8:00 AM. Grab your furry running buddy and hit the trails with fellow dog lovers. Canicross is a great way to bond with your pup, meet new friends, and get some exercise in a fun and social setting. All fitness levels are welcome, so whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, you'll have a blast running with your four-legged friend. Don't miss out on this monthly event!

We plan to run the official trail on the west side of the reservoir. This is a 1.6 mile out and back trail (so 3.2 miles total). This trail is along the water with opportunities for the pups cool off.

What you need to know:

• We are a No-Drop Group. We have a runner in front and back of the pack, so don't worry about being left behind. We will hike with you!

• As a general rule, please respect all dogs' space during canicross, and no on-leash, nose to nose greetings. This is not an event for dogs to be social with others, please keep space between your dog and the dog in front of you, and annouce if you're going to be passing. This is a reactive dog friendly group.

• Gear: A Waist belt, bungee leash, and y-front harness are all you need to get started. We have extra harnesses, belts, and bungee lines to try, and can help with fitting equipment before you order your own!

• After the run, we will have some snacks, so hang around and chat! Plus this month, the NC Urban Mushers are having a pool party at a dog friendly pond up in Youngsville. Keep an eye out for that event too!
