Best Paw Forward

Put your Best Paw Forward this March 2023!

The Best Paw Forward is an active challenge that you can walk, run, cycle or exercise in any way you like to help raise funds and awareness for the animals in your local RSPCA Animal Centre during March.

You pick your distance, method and pace which can be part of your daily exercise or a personal goal, all we ask is that you raise some funds for the animals in our centre while you do it!

Pick your distance:

Choose your method :

10 miles

Walk

20 miles

Run

30 miles

Cycle

 Or however you want to cover the miles; laps of your garden….walking your canine companion… or even exercising on the treadmill counts!

 Record your miles using the Strava App, a Fitbit, pedometer, or any other step count method that suits you and that’s it!

Your challenge must be completed by 31st March and all entrants who raise a minimum of £20 sponsorship will be sent a special RSPCA HHB medal and all dog walkers will be awarded a goodie bag for their canine companion!

Simply use the button below to sign up for just £3. We will then email you all of the information you need: sponsor form,event info in a handy downloadable link within 48 hours of sign up – and you’re ready to go! 

The challenge will end on March 31st, plus anyone who raises over £20 in sponsorship will receive their very own Best Paw Forward medal in the post!

" I chose to complete 30 miles in March by running a mile a day! I managed to raise £130 on a Facebook fundraiser (and inviting family & friends to donate and keep me motivated!) I'm so chuffed I completed my goal distance and love my medal. My dog Angel even joined me for a few miles too!"
