The city of Reus has scheduled the third edition of the Cursa de la Coia for September 13, an initiative that links physical activity with popular culture.

The competition, promoted by the local human tower group, proposes a 5-kilometer urban route. The organization has made a total of 450 spots available, with an entry fee set at 12 euros, although a 2-euro discount applies to those who have participated in previous editions.
This year's poster design aims to symbolize the union between the sports world and the city's festive procession, merging the image of sports footwear with traditional espadrilles. In addition to the race, complementary activities are planned along the route to encourage citizen participation and the community character of the event.
Registration for the race will open this Monday through the digital platform Tretzesports. The event is thus consolidated as a festive proposal prior to the Misericòrdia festivities, seeking to diversify leisure and tradition offerings for all audiences.
