About Greyhound Gathering

Greyhound Gathering


Kanab’s Greyhound Gathering

 will host up to 300 rescued

   racing greyhounds, along with their human families, during the annual event in May.  The streets of Kanab are overrun with hounds, as this Gathering is the one of the largest  Greyhound Gatherings anywhere in the United States.

While in modern times greyhounds are known for their racing prowess, they’ve historically been treated lovingly as loyal companions and family members. At one time, Egyptian pharaohs and Roman kings were their only owners.  In contrast with their noble beginnings, they now suffer the ignoble fate of living in 2’x4’ crates and racing for their lives. There is a growing movement of greyhound lovers across the nation, helping to restore the dignity and respect of the breed.

Festivities for the Greyhound Gathering in Kanab will feature a host of events including a parade down Center Street, with hundreds of costumed humans and hounds. The Blur of Fur showcases humans chased by their hounds while clocked with police radar guns.

Information about the Greyhound Gathering is available on the Greyhound Gang web site at www.greyhoundgang.org
