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.
WHICH CHALLENGE IS BEST FOR YOU?
Our Bronze challenges are aimed at beginners, whether that be you or your dog.
It's a great way to start your fitness journey and gradually build your levels of fitness. If you get the exercise addiction bug you can set yourself a final goal and work your way through our Bronze, Silver and then Gold Challenges to reach it.
Our Gold challenges are aimed at you if you have a good level of fitness, but want something to encourage you to go further, harder and faster than before.
The Gold Challenges will keep you focussed and push you that extra mile to reach your goals.
You and your dog are truly fitness gurus at this level!!

I DON'T HAVE A FITNESS APP OR TRACKER
That's not a problem, you can collect evidence by using a fitness tracker app on your phone, any tracker watch, join our Strava club or you can use a good old fashioned pen and paper to record your daily miles.
