In short: Ridulously expensive, hardly any local people/ no local run club (except for myself)
In full: For £15 per race (2 races over the wkend) I expected a little more than a magnetic calendar and a notebook in the goody bag - no bottled water for the runners, no doggy treats even, let alone a T-shirt that you get with many £8-to-entry road races. CaniX need to encourage more local people to enter these races - I felt like an outsider with my run club vest on! More people might lower the price and stop it being sooo clichy! I did chat to a few nice friendly people though :-)

In short: Typical smooth organisation by Canix
In full: If you've got an active dog these races are worth looking out for. Friendly social events with a race attached, the dogs all love it as well.
