ICF
International Canicross Federation (ICF) is an international governing body dedicated to the development and promotion of dog-powered sports such as canicross, bikejoring and scooter racing. The organisation works to coordinate the sport across different countries, bringing together national federations and clubs involved in competitive and recreational cani-sports.
The federation supports the growth of canicross worldwide by establishing competition frameworks, encouraging cooperation between national organisations and helping organise international events. Through its member federations and affiliated clubs, ICF promotes standards for racing, athlete participation and the welfare of dogs involved in the sport.
By providing an international structure for cani-sports, the organisation helps connect athletes, clubs and event organisers across multiple countries. Its work contributes to the continued expansion of canicross from its origins as off-season sled-dog training into a recognised global sport involving runners and their dogs.
