ABOUT DOG RUNNER

HI, I’M LILLA.

I’m an ultra and marathon runner, a DogFit Certified Canicross Trainer and a member of British Athletics. But some of my favourite miles are the ones I run with my dogs, Toblerone and Agiee.Canicross gives them an outlet for their energy and natural drive, keeps us fit and gives us something brilliant to do together.I created Dog Runner to help more people discover that same connection — getting fitter together, building a stronger bond and giving their dog an activity they can truly thrive on.
