Covid-19 precautions: Mask & recommended distances observed!

We'll meet at the beautiful La Orilla Trailhead east entrance, located in Rancho Santa Fe (see map link). This is a great, 4 miles of single/double track, dry marshland trail, partial shade, with great views of the Ecological Reserve. Easy out & back with some sand, and minimal hill work.
Post Run breakfast at Champagne Bakery, Rancho Santa Fe, outside dining area.

FYI: Canicross running is best performed in temperatures cooler than 68 degrees to avoid heat exhaustion in dogs, if temps are warmer than 70 degrees the meetup will be considered cancelled.

If you don't have specific Canicross sports dog-gear,...No Worries! I have canicross sports gear available for purchase. Shoot Deborah Vande Berg a message, so I can reserve the proper sized running gear, availability is limited, so its first come/first serve on the gear.

Suggested Equipment:

1. Canicross Belt or Runner's Hands-free belt.
2. Dog Harness with back leash attachment. No "run-restricted" harnesses.
3. Dog Leash or Canicross Bungee leash.
4. Water & Treats - For you & your dog.
5. Wag Bags provided at Park.

*Please, no dogs under one year old. Their bodies are not fully developed yet and need a bit more time to grow before pulling in a harness.
**Not Recommended for Dogs with shorter muzzles, i.e Pit Bulls, Boxers, etc. are not well suited for canicross running, because of strained breathing issues, and heart stress. I'd hate to have anything bad happen to your pup.
***We're here for a low stress environment for Owners and their dogs...We're here to have fun! Therefore, to protect the safety of dogs and their human teammates at the meet-up, you'll be asked to leave, if your dog shows signs of aggression towards other dogs or people. If your dog damages another dog or person,...you are responsible for the medical bills.
