Muddy Dog Challenge
The Muddy Dog Challenge is a 2.5K and 5K obstacle course that you can take on with your dog by your side. Whether you’re keen to run, or would rather walk, you can tackle the course with friends and family, with or without a dog. Just prepare yourself for a day of mud, sweat, and cheers! By taking part and fundraising for Battersea, you’ll be helping us provide love and care for the thousands of dogs and cats that come into our care, and even those that might never find their way to a Battersea Centre.
You can enter as a dog and human team or on your own. Sign up with a group of friends, or bring the whole family, as children aged 8 or above can join in the fun too!
