Paw Runner ChallengeTAKE OUR 1 MILE A DAY CHALLENGEOakwood Dog Rescue has teamed up with Paw Runner to bring you our '1 MILE A DAY' Challenge throughout September, to encourage you and your dogs to get active, have fun together and strengthen your bond, whilst helping to raise money for our wonderful Dog Rescue.

Whether you are a FITNESS SUPER STAR or a total BEGINNER, you can complete this challenge in your own time, at your own pace, on your own, or with friends, at any place. The challenge runs throughout September 2020 and can be done as a walk or run (or both!) over the month.
