STATE OF MIND OF THE ORGANIZATION (Alice GEA):  

In canicross as in canivtt , think that your dog does not have the word, for him the most important,

it's not to finish first but to finish the race together with your team-mate.

He is determined to give everything for his partner no matter what!

Remember to manage your race well, respect yourself and your dog !!!

We can't always finish first, but finishing is great proof of courage on the part of

your dog we can all do it but during your run think of HIM as he thinks

to you !!!!

Remember to hydrate your running companion regularly by offering him water points

present !!!

I wish you all a good race !!!
