Where can I walk my dog?

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!

What distance should I do?

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.

How can I keep track of the kilometres I have done?

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

What safety precautions should me and my dog take?

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.

What temperature is too hot to walk my dog?

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.

Fundraising questions

How much of the donations go directly to Macmillan?

For donations made in Great British Pounds (GBP), the payment processing fee on Facebook is 1.4% + 20p. The rest of your donation goes straight to Macmillan. When you donate, Facebook asks if you’d like to cover these fees. If you choose to do so, 100% of your donation will go to Macmillan. 97% of the money raised on any JustGiving page goes straight to Macmillan. A 1.9% + 30p card processing fee is applied to donations made in GBP to cover card and money transfer charges set by banks and card companies. 1% of the donation is applied to support a portion of JustGiving’s operating costs.
Can we fundraise as a group?

Yes. If you would like to fundraise as a group, then we encourage all participants to have their own registration to make getting your t-shirt/vest quick and easy. When you register you will automatically be set up with an individual fundraising page. We recommend you close additional pages and share just one of your fundraising pages as a group.
Is there a minimum fundraising target?

There is no minimum fundraising amount, but we are asking everyone taking part in the challenge to aim for £170 to fund our vital services for people living with cancer.
