Canicross is the sport of cross-country running while hitched to a dog. It is popular in Europe. It is related to the winter dog-powered sport of skijoring, wherein a skier is hitched to one to three dogs.

The first World Championships were arranged in 2002 in Ravenna, Italy.

Equipment needed is basically the same as in skiing with dogs: running harness, waist belt and a flexible line. In competitions there are more detailed requirements to the clips, and the length of the line.
