MUDDY DOG CHALLENGE

TACKLE THE COURSE AND FUNDRAISE FOR BATTERSEA

All of the 2024 Muddy Dog Challenges have now taken place. Thank you to everyone who took part in an event, we really appreciate your support.

The Muddy Dog Challenge is a dog-friendly obstacle event that you can take on with your canine companion 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.
