100 Miles of Walkies in May

You can register for the challenge and your free WWF neck buff here! Share your fundraising page with friends and family and ask them to sponsor you to complete your miles.

Of course! We’d love you to join us whether you have a four-legged friend or not. You can still complete the miles on your own or with a pal.

Remember, you’ve got plenty of time to collect donations, so try not to worry. Here’re some of our top fundraising tips:

Donate to your own fundraiser – it shows your friends and family that you’re taking your challenge seriously!
See if your employer has a ‘matched donations’ policy – you could potentially double the amount your raise!
Keep your friends and family updated with your challenge and they'll donate once they see what you're doing.
Personalise your fundraiser blurb & photo - this makes a huge difference! Tell people what's motivated you to take on the challenge.

There's no need to prove you've completed your miles - but you're able to log your miles on your WWF fundraiser so you can keep track and share your progress with friends & family so they can see how well you're doing!

For tracking on the go, there're some good free apps such as Strava, Map My Run or RunKeeper.

To qualify for your free WWF neck buff you must register between 1st April 2025 and 7th May 2025. We only post neck buffs to UK addresses, and it is a maximum of one neck buff per person. Please allow up to 10 working days for your neck buff to arrive in the post. WWF neck buffs are available while stocks last.

To qualify for a WWF t-shirt, you must have raised the £150 target amount, by no later than 00:00hrs on 3rd June 2025. WWF t-shirts are available while stocks last.

To qualify for a WWF water bottle, you must have raised the £250 target amount, by no later than 00:00hrs on 3rd June 2025. WWF water bottles are available while stocks last.

The Facebook group is a fantastic way to connect with other people doing the challenge. You can swap fundraising or training tips and share photos of your challenge. Plus, everyone in the group will support you while you’re doing your miles.

Upon registration, we automatically create you a Just Giving page and an additional Social Sync fundraising page, which we call your WWF fundraiser. You can receive donations to this page much like any other fundraising page and you can log your miles on it too. Your Social Sync fundraiser total will reflect your total across your Just Giving page too.

Our friendly team are here to help! Get in touch and we’ll be happy to help you.

Absolutely! We want everyone to be able to enjoy this challenge, and every dog is different.

The Kennel club has a helpful Breeds A to Z list of every dog and how much exercise is recommended every day depending on their breed. 

You know your dog (and yourself!) best, so feel free to set your challenge to a lower distance target. 

Safety is the top priority when taking part in our challenge. You know your dog best and we encourage you to think about the distance you walk per session and whether it is appropriate for your dog, especially if they are still a puppy. If you have any concerns about your dog, please consult your vet.

Puppies might find this challenge a bit too much to handle! As they’re smaller, they don’t need as much exercise yet so it’s best to check with your vet depending on their age whether you should take part. The Blue cross and The Kennel Club both offer some great advice on walking young puppies and how long you should be walking them for. If you’re not sure, please consult your vet.

This will vary from dog to dog! Older dogs may find it more difficult to cover long distances, however, you know your dog best. If you want to take part but at a shorter distance, please feel free to set your own lower target. If you’re not sure, please consult your vet for their expertise!

You know your dog best, but in warmer weather we recommend walking your dog in the morning or evening when it's cooler. For more information on walking dogs in warm weather, check out trusted sources such as RSPCA. Please ensure that you carry plenty of water for you and your dog and keep to the shade if needed.

Our WWF neck buffs are designed for humans, so it’s completely up to you if you want your pup to sport it! If you’re fitting it on your dog, please ensure it’s comfortable and not restrictive to their breathing/movement. WWF UK accept no liability for any loss or injury caused to your dog by the use of any of our products.
