We get dogs, and their humans out hiking and/or running into their local state forests. We are based on the beautiful NSW Central Coast, but open to the world.

Hi, I’m Diane. I come from an endurance sport background from equestrian, mountain biking, trail running, adventure racing, kayaking- basically anything outdoors.
In the past I have run with my previous two kelpies Miley and Skye.
While I have vaguely been aware of canicross it is only recently that I discovered this club.
Now with my younger, wilder, touch on the naughty side kelpie Bella, her brother Milo and hubby Bobby we have found a new obsession and group of friends.
The best thing is you don’t have to be competitive to have fun.

I’m Darren, the club’s Vice President. I’ve had dogs all my life, and Weimaraners were always my preferred breed. Together we enjoyed agility and obedience training, working up to Utility Dog level. I thought I’d found the best dogs and the most fun you could have with them—then I discovered German Shorthaired Pointers and canicross!

Now I run with my GSP, Blaze, and love the fun, excitement and teamwork of getting out on the trails together. I’m not sure who enjoys it more! The club brings together great people and their dogs, and I’m keen to help others discover just how much fun this sport can be.

It's time to meet some of our new committee members - I’m Mandy, and my fur baby is Mabel, a Hungarian Vizsla. I first heard about canicross when I watched the Top Dog Film Festival in 2025. Evan Birch and his Vizsla, Nova, took part in the Orcas 100, and I was in awe of the incredible bond between them as they tackled the trails together. Shortly afterwards, I saw a segment on Better Homes & Gardens showcasing canicross and a local club — which just happened to be this club! So that was it for me. I was between dogs at the time, but I knew that as soon as I had another dog, canicross was something we would try. Fast forward to today and we are hooked! There’s something pretty special about getting out into nature with your bestie, sharing adventures and meeting other people who are just as passionate about exploring with their dogs. I’m excited to be part of the club and look forward to getting out on the trails, sharing plenty of adventures and helping out as the new Secretary.

We've had some committee changes. Life happens, and we are sad to see you go (now you'll have more time to race). A huge THANK YOU for all your work behind the scenes, growing the club and running events. Dre, Mik, Dan, Naomi and Sharnie, see you all soon.

Without this club sponsor we wouldn’t have been able to hold our club races 💙

Leaf Free Australia got on board at the start of our 2026 race season and supported us not just financially, but even helped in support roles during some of our events …. because they be-leaf in us 😉

As the weather starts to get warmer the risk of fire becomes a greater threat. Blocked gutters at your home or work are a primary vulnerability during Australian bushfires.

Consider Leaf Free Gutter Guards this season 🍃

Thank you Brett & Michelle from Leaf Free Australia
