Cani'tour de la Citadelle d'Arras

The RCA Canicross invites you to a new edition of the Cani'tour de la Citadelle on October 12, 2025 .

Within the woods of the Citadel of Arras, we offer you a new course which retains its particularities: nature, variety and technique so that all participants can find what they are looking for.

Because we still remember the daunting conditions of the last edition, we have also chosen an earlier date!

The different tests on the program:

CaniVTT, Canipédicycle, Canicross long: 6.3km

Short Canicross Adults & Children: 3.2km

Untimed Canimarche: 6.3 km

The events are open to both licensed and non-licensed members, and we hope to see many of them come and share a good time with their four-legged companion.

For each discipline, the race regulations are those of the FFSLC.

Your dog must be at least 18 months old regardless of the discipline and its passport must be up to date on the platform, otherwise departure is not possible.

For non-licensees, an equipment check will be carried out prior to collecting the bib.
