🐾 Southern Suburbs Canicross 🐾
☀️ Saturday Morning Social Run 🌿🐕🏃‍♂️

End off the month of October with fresh air, wagging tails, and a relaxed run that welcomes everyone - whether you’re jogging, running, or walking with your dog.

📅 Date: Saturday
⏰ Time: 07:00
📍 Meeting Point: Pagasvlei Road, Outside Groot Constantia Vineyards

🗺️ Route Information
We’ll be offering a 4km route across flat terrain, mostly clay sand with a touch of gravel. Perfect for all fitness levels, from beginners to seasoned runners.

All dogs over 12 months are welcome, and walkers are encouraged to join in too.

🌦️ Weather
Morning conditions are usually ideal for Canicross; cool, fresh, and energizing. We will provide water and spare p**p bags, but it's always a good idea to bring water for yourself and your dog, and a travel bowl for the car.

📊 Attendance
To help us keep track of numbers, please register on www.canicross.co.za to confirm you’ll be joining.

💳 Run Fee
Annual club members run free as part of their membership. Non‑members: R50 per run, payable before we start.

⚠️ Important Reminders
* Arrive 10–15 minutes early for a short briefing.
* Reactive dogs should be given extra space.
* Call out clearly when overtaking: “passing left” or “passing right”.
* Keep at least two leash lengths between teams.
* Warm up before the run and cool down afterwards.
* Do NOT feed your dog for at least an hour before running.
* Bring p**p bags and clean up after your dog.

💡 Top Tip
Arrive with your dog in a normal collar or harness, then switch into your Canicross gear at the venue. Remove it after the run to help your dog distinguish between “work time” and “social time.”

🐾 Social Run Reminder
This is a social run, not a race. Enjoy the company, the grass underfoot, and the chance to strengthen your bond with your dog in a fun, supportive environment.

📸 We love seeing your adventures, share your photos and tag Southern Suburbs Canicross!

Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday!

☀️🐾 SUMMER SAFETY UPDATE | CANICROSS SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦

As we head into the hotter summer months, our weekly club social runs will continue where it is safe to do so, but any larger Canicross events will take a summer break until the new season kicks off in March 2027! 🏃‍♀️🐕

All Canicross South Africa club instructors will be carefully monitoring temperatures and humidity levels before weekly club runs. Even though social runs are scheduled for cooler parts of the day, conditions can change, and high humidity can make things dangerous for our dogs very quickly.

Please keep a close eye on your club WhatsApp groups, as instructors may adjust start times or postpone runs altogether.

🌡️ Temperatures above 25°C mean an automatic postponement. Cooler temperatures combined with high humidity can also make conditions unsafe.

Please remember that our dogs’ welfare always comes first. If an instructor changes or cancels a run, that decision is final and is made with the safety of every canine attendee in mind.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we keep our packs safe through summer.

💚 Stay cool, look after your four legged running buddies, and looking forward to seeing you all out on the trails when it’s safe!

Fitter Humans. Happier Dogs. Epic Adventures. 🐾

It’s that time of year again, folks!

We're seeing an increase of ticks out on the trails, so this is your friendly reminder to make sure your dogs are up to date on their tick prevention before heading to a Canicross South Africa social run.

Make sure to check your dogs head, ears, underarms, groin, paws and toes carefully after each run.
