We run...
We run with harnesses, but mostly we run without,
We run slowly for hours and miles, we run lighting fast sprints.
We have run with sleds, rigs and bikes,
We mostly run attached to none.
We run with CaniX and we run with Cani-crossers,
Sometimes we run to win, but mostly we run purely for fun.
We pay to race, we run races for free,
Sometimes we run with humans & dogs,
Sometimes we run with just humans,
Mostly we run alone.
We have met people we love and now have forever friendships with,
We have met others that we do not understand.
We run as baby puppies, and we run as veteran dogs,
We run before others begin, and we run when others would stop.
We run because running allows us to go further than walking alone.
Sometimes we are accused of cheating,
Mostly we are applauded for being inspirational.
We share running with children, novices and those that were once scared of us,
We run with Olympic Athletes, and millionaires.
We run where we want, when we want and how fast we want,
Sometimes we pretend it was our choice....
We never decline a run, sometimes short and sweet will do.
We rarely return from a run without a smile upon our faces.
We ran together before cani-cross became a known sport.
We ran together when people used to laugh, disbelieve and question why...
We run faster with praise, feed off the good things in this world,
We slow down with sadness, until we overcome it with joy.
With a spring in our step, we cover the ground,
We watch for the wildlife, take pride in all Great Britain has to offer.
We run and communicate with openness, honesty and trust,
This is how we achieve what we do.
We work together as a team,
Without each other life would not be fulfilled.
Running defines us, it is who we are,
Without running we are mere shadows of who we want to be.
Every day we remember those that no longer run with us,
Every day we think of those that will one day run with us.
Forever and a day, we are Huskies Running.
