Muddy Dog Challenge

Description

The Muddy Dog Challenge is back in Derby for more mud, sweat and cheers helping to raise money for the dogs and cats at Battersea. 

Battersea’s Muddy Dog Challenge is an obstacle course you can tackle with your dog by your side. The aim of the challenge is simply to have fun while raising money for Battersea. Participants can choose from a distance of 2.5km and 5km – both courses are equally fun (and muddy). Pet lovers will be faced with a variety of wacky obstacles to jump under, over or through, including wading through the mud in the Canine Crawl, weaving through the Mutt Mazes, and not to forget the opportunity to unleash your inner child crawling through the Ball Pit Tunnels. 

People of all ages and abilities are welcome to take part – they can run or walk the course with or without a dog, bring the whole family along, join up with your friends and their canine companions as part of a team, or take on the challenge solo. The best part? Participants can train as much or as little as they’d like, it’s all about having fun! 

Each participant is encouraged to raise a target of £100 for Battersea so the charity can continue to be there for dogs and cats everywhere. For ideas and inspiration, the Battersea website has plenty of fundraising tips. 

Once registered, participants will receive a Muddy Dog Challenge t-shirt and dog bandana to take part in on the day, as well as a well-earned medal and rosette for making it across the finish line.
