February is the month of love. Forget Valentine's - it's our love for our dogs. We would love it if you choose to fundraise for DSUK by taking part in your own virtual Dog Jog during the month of February 2025. Once you have paid your registration fee then all sponsorship funds you raise will come to DSUK. Your support will help us to ensure more disabled people can experience the fun, freedom and friendships of snowsport.

Dog Jogs are a fantastic opportunity for you and your canine companion to get some fresh air and exercise.

You might be asking, is jogging suitable for me and my dog?

Are you new to exercising with your canine companion?

If so, there are lots of things to consider when exercising with your dog, and the Dog Jog is no different! Keep hydrated! It’s important that your dog drinks small amounts regularly – it’s not good for your dog to gulp large volumes of water while exercising, so it’s better to allow him or her to drink a small amount and then come back for some more later. Consider when you plan to eat in advance of the Dog Jog, you and your dog will feel more comfortable if you aren’t exercising on a full stomach. We anticipate that you will perhaps want to walk a bit, jog a bit and for those pooches who are demanding, maybe even carrying for a bit – this is fine, take as long as you like!

However, if you plan to run with your dog, then remember to run at a pace that you and your dog are comfortable with. Also, keep in mind that running on tarmac can be quite stressful for your dog’s joints and paws, so please remember that you can run on the grass rather than a path whenever you like.  If you do plan to run, consider using an appropriate harness on your dog to ensure that their breathing is not restricted during vigorous exercise and so that they are comfortable and safe when they are running.

Entry is from £10.50 and will include all finishers receiving a range of items from Dog Jog - including your medal.
