What is Canicròs de Reus?
It’s a sporting and charity event that brings together different ways to take part with dogs, from races to a walk open to everyone. This sixth edition features three new courses for the events, including a bikejoring category. There will also be a space to meet local animal shelters and learn about adoption.
It’s not just for those who want to compete: the charity walk is open to everyone, with or without a dog, and kids’ canicross is a short, non-competitive event. Proceeds from the day go to animal shelters in Camp de Tarragona.

How to get there and where to park
The start is at Passeig de la Boca de la Mina, next to Escola Mowgli. Passeig Nord will be closed, so access is via barri Gaudí. If you’re coming from out of town, the organizers recommend entering “Plaça Maria Àngels Ollé, Reus” in your GPS.
For parking, they recommend streets around Institut Gaudí and Font del Lleó, such as Carrer de Terol and Carrer de Badalona, and Avinguda de Saragossa. Keep in mind that there will be road closures and parking restrictions near the start: allow extra time to get there and follow the signs.
What to prepare before taking part
For the races, check the official requirements before the event. Dogs must be at least one year old, microchipped, have a health record and be up to date on vaccinations, including rabies and polyvalent vaccines. They’ll also need to pass the pre-event veterinary check. The organizers say dogs of all breeds can take part if they’re fit.
Canicross requires a specialized harness, elastic towline and suitable waist belt for the person. Bring your dog’s health record for the check and review the equipment guidelines in the rules and requirements. The charity walk does not require this veterinary check.
If you’re taking part in the walk, you can pick up your bag and T-shirt on Friday, November 13, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., at the event stand in Mercat Central de Reus. You can also pick them up on Sunday at Boca de la Mina, between 7:15 and 11:00 a.m. Check the official website in case you need to confirm pickup instructions.
