Canix or Canine Cross-country is a relatively new dog sport. Click on the logo above to see more.
The younger members of VANISTICA, that is Louise, Ian (Littlewood), Grandson Jacob
and Granddaughter Tanita started running in late 2005.
The sport is now well established and hold cross-country events about every 2-3 weeks from September to April each year
The younger members now have Granddad running as well.
It is a very good fun day out with people from many different levels of fitness taking part.
Below are a few pictures of the family running this year.
