Organised by Cani-Sports Edinburgh, the event brings together runners and their dogs for a friendly day of canicross racing, welcoming experienced competitors and those trying the sport for the first time.
The event offers a longer course of approximately 5K and a shorter 2.5K route, with races for adults and junior runners.
