The disciplines of canicross (running with dogs) and bikejor (biking with dogs) have been growing rapidly in the UK for the last 10 years, so Emily and her colleagues organise a canicross run, an aquathlon (running and swimming), a duathlon (biking and running) and a full triathlon.
Next year's event in September 2024 will be on sale in Spring 2024, and you can find out more on the Tri Dog website or Facebook page.
