LOVE YOURSELF THIS FEBRUARY
The feeling you get after a good walk, run or any exercise is the same feeling of ecstasy you get when you are all loved up!
You put an excitable skip in your step, you feel positive, happy and feel great about life! You'll notice that your doggy will feel the same!
We have created some exciting challenges for you to have a bit of fun when you are out and about on your adventures with your fur buddy.
They have a positive impact on both the physical and mental wellbeing of you and your doggies, as you get fitter, healthier and happier together.
You can complete the challenges with your fur buddy, or make it a social affair and step it up with your friends so you can walk and talk, putting the world to rights!
Whether you are a woodland wanderer, long distance hiker, beach explorer, mountain climber or marathon runner, there is a great selection of challenges suitable for everyone.
Walk or run between 3 miles all the way up to 250 miles or opt for a daily step goal throughout February:

YOU ARE HELPING TO SAVE OUR planet
As you know, looking after the planet is one of our missions very close to our hearts, to ensure we have a wonderful planet for every human, animal, creature and plant to enjoy for billions of years to come!
For every walking, running and paddling challenge that you enter, we will plant a tree on your behalf. So you are providing new homes for wildlife, jobs for local tribes and fresh oxygen.

You guys truly are PAWSOME!
GOT TOO MANY MEDALS?
Opt to swap your medal to feed a rescue pooch
There are a record number of dogs waiting for their forever homes in rescue centres across the UK. Some of this is caused by the effect of the covid pandemic.
With the cost of living increasing there is added pressure for animal rescue centres as they look after all the dogs in their care to make sure they are fed, kept warm, exercised and any medical needs tended to.
When you enter your challenge, you can choose to receive your bespoke Paw Runner medal or feed a rescue dog.
When you have smashed your challenge and sent us your evidence, we will donate dog food to a dog rescue centre in need on your behalf.
