Dog walking challenge

You can choose your own dog walking route, whether that be a field, woodland walk, park or a dog-friendly beach near you. Take the challenge solo or team up and form a social dog walking group. You could even create a fun dog fundraiser team name!

That is completely up to you. You could do one of three distances (50, 75 and 100km) and move around these targets depending on your situation.

If you sign up hoping to complete 100km but feel that you and your dog can only safely complete 50km (or 25km); do what works best! At the end of the day we are so glad that you are taking part in the challenge to help us support people with cancer. 

Strava, Fitbit or other fitness apps. We will also share a daily tracker for you to mark each day as you complete each day. Share your progress with your friends and family to encourage sponsorship throughout the month

Safety is the top priority when taking part in this dog fundraiser. You know your dog best and we encourage you to think about the distance you walk per session and whether it is appropriate for your dog, especially if they are still a puppy. If you have any concerns about your dog, please consult a vet.

We recommend walking your dog in the morning or evening when it's cooler. For more information on walking dogs in warm weather, check out trusted sources such as RSPCA. Please ensure that you carry plenty of water for you and your dog and keep to shady paths.
