Couch to 5k

Through our DogFit Certified Canicross Training, we can help you get up and running with your canicross journey either as part of a group class or one-to-one sessions.

COUCH TO 5K - GROUP CLASS - JUNE 2026

Always wanted to try canicross but worried you’re ‘too slow’, ‘not fit enough’, or that everyone else will be miles ahead? This class is for YOU 💚

We start simple, build confidence gradually, and always run at the pace of the slowest runner so nobody gets left behind.

Whether you’re completely new to running or just looking for a fun way to get active with your dog, all you need to start is the ability to walk briskly for around 30 minutes.

 6-week DogFit Certified course
– Starts June 10th
– 7pm at Westfield Pill Nature Reserve
 Small class size – ONLY 3 SPACES
– £80 for the full 6 weeks

You’ll need your own canicross kit to take part, but don’t panic if you’re unsure what you need – just drop us a message and we’ll happily help.

We also have a 5% discount code for DogFit equipment using code: DHAV5 🧡

Sessions may be adjusted if weather conditions are too warm for safe running, but we WILL run in the rain!

Come and discover just how fun running with your dog can be!

ONE TO ONE

If you’re ready to set yourself a challenge, you can book yourself into a Couch to 5k course through either 1 to 1 sessions or a class. In a 1 to 1, you will have the benefit of tailored training just for you over the course of either six or eight weeks. 

The first session will last between 45 minutes to 1 hour, and will include getting to know your equipment, as well as learning how to warm up, cool down, and ultimately stay safe. 

Following sessions last betweeen 30-45 minutes. It is advised that you purchase your own equipment beforehand – please get in touch for any advice regarding this! For beginners, we recommend the DogFit Starter Kit, which is great for those completely new to the sport. 

The cost of the six week course for a 1 to 1 is £120, and must be payable at the time of booking.
