Dog Jog Virtual Challenge
Ready to get moving with your furry friend? The Virtual Dog Jog is here! This is your chance to combine fitness, fun, and quality time with your dog—all at your own pace and convenience.
What is the Virtual Dog Jog?
It's a challenge where you and your pup can walk, jog, or run your chosen distance—anywhere, anytime. Whether it’s a scenic park stroll, a neighborhood run, or laps around your garden, the choice is yours!
Why Sign Up?
- Stay Active Together: A great way to keep both you and your dog healthy and happy.
- Get Rewarded: Every participant receives a finisher’s medal and a Dog Jog collar tag for your four-legged partner.
- No Pressure: Set your pace and complete the challenge on your schedule.
Exercise and Mental Health
It is no secret that exercise can have a positive effect on your mental health and wellbeing. But, exercising alongside a furry companion? Well, that has even more benefits!
Running alongside your dog can help reduce feelings of loneliness, improve your motivation and resilience, and even be a reason to socialise more! Why not invite fellow dog owners along to join in?
What’s more, getting outside in nature will increase your Vitamin D levels and help you de-stress as well as providing your dog with the stimulation and exercise it needs to stay happy and healthy. Don’t just do this for you, do it for your dog too!
