引句:
Canicross is the combination of cross country running and dog walking, originating from the dog sledding community. In dog sledding, participants would continue to train off-season by running with their dogs—this became known as canicross and quickly developed as a sport in its own right.
—Finlay Greig, “Everything you need to know about canicross in Scotland,” The Scotsman, December 21, 2016

Blake is a Greyster—a mix of German Shorthaired Pointer, Greyhound, and Alaskan Husky—a type of dog bred for sled racing and perfectly suited to canicross. But as the sport grows in popularity in the U.K., so too has the variance in participating breeds, especially at the recreational end of the canicross spectrum.
—Paul Snyder, “Want to Run a Fast 5K? Let Your Dog Pull You to Greatness,” Runner’s World, November 30, 2017
