Ready, set, woof! Experience the thrill of Canicross, the cross-country running sport where you and your dog tackle the trails together. Participants are connected to their dogs via a harness and bungee cord, allowing the dog to lead while the runner provides direction through commands. Whether you’re running with one or two dogs, Canicross is a test of teamwork and endurance that’s gaining traction worldwide—and Baja is no exception.
Join us for the “Canicross Etocane K-9, BCS” event, co-hosted by Baja California Sur University and Etocane K9, a La Paz club known for its comprehensive dog training programs. This event isn’t just about sport; it’s about celebrating our love for pets and supporting local animal welfare organizations.
