We continue our series on exciting sporting events by featuring a company doing things a bit differently. This Cornwall-based events organiser, Purple Gecko, started out hosting standard trail races, and has since responded to demand to include canicross.

Purple Gecko sought expertise from the canicross community to develop a Canicross Championship Series, and now have eight, possibly more, canicross races on the calendar for the 2023-24 season.

Where else would you want to canicross than in the beautiful county of Cornwall. Most races avoid the coastal paths for safety, but all the courses take advantage of Cornwall's natural terrain.
