🎉 Happy 7th Birthday, North American Canicross! 🎉

For 7 years, we’ve been building more than a sport, we’ve been building a community. A place where people and dogs come together, friendships are formed, adventures are shared, and everyone belongs!

Thank you to every member, ambassador, volunteer, and canine teammate who has been part of this journey. NACC is what it is because of all of you.

So today, HOOK UP & CHASE TAIL and celebrate with us!
Here’s to the miles behind us and the adventures still ahead!

As stated in the NACC Handbook:
“As soon as the challenge coin is released, all participants who have previously met the requirements for the title and paid the Title Review Fee will receive the challenge coin and corresponding titling certificate. Those who qualified for the title prior to the challenge coin’s release will be notified via email when it becomes available and will be given the option to submit payment to receive the challenge coin and titling certificate.”
Keep up the amazing work, teams!

At NACC, we’re not obsessed with mileage, we’re obsessed with adventures with our dogs. When it’s too hot to run, we don’t force it. We swap trails for paddle boards, swimming holes, and whatever excuse gets us outside together.

Water is one of our favorite ways to keep dogs active, build fitness, and stay safe during the summer heat. Because the goal isn’t just logging miles. It’s building a lifetime of adventures with your canine teammate.
