CANICROSS AND BIKEJOER CHAMPIONSHIPS

CLOSE

Monday, 27 Sep 2010

We are delighted to learn that Ben Sendall (9E) will be representing the United Kingdom, running in the European Canicross & Bikejör Championships on the 9th and 10th October.

For 11-14yr olds, the Canicross event involves running a tough 2.5km cross-country each day with a dog ‘pulling’ you; attached to your waistbelt by a 2m bungee lead.  It is as much about controlling your dog as it is about running fast. 

Last year, Ben finished second in the UK championship, so his parents are hoping for a good position in Europe.

The event is taking place in La Baraque Fraiture (Vielsalm), Belgium.

We hope to be able to publish an update on how Ben gets on in the coming weeks.
