Walkies Challenge

St Luke's Walkies Challenge 2026

Grab your lead, lace up your walking shoes and take on the St Luke’s Walkies Challenge this September!

Whether you have a playful puppy, a faithful companion or a senior dog who enjoys a gentle stroll, this flexible fundraising challenge is all about getting outdoors, spending quality time with your four-legged friend and raising vital funds for St Luke’s Hospice.

Simply set yourself and your dog a distance goal of 100km, then complete your walks throughout September. Walk around your local park, explore new trails, or enjoy your favourite daily routes – every kilometre you walk and every pound you raise will help St Luke’s continue providing compassionate care and support for patients and families across the community.

Registration is just £10, which could help provide a hot meal for a patient in our care. As a thank you for taking part, you'll receive a fantastic Walkies Challenge pack containing:

• A handmade St Luke’s dog bandana.
• A St Luke’s t-shirt.
• A kilometre tracker to record your progress. 
• Sponsorship forms to support your fundraising efforts.
• Access to a dedicated Facebook community group for fellow participants.
• A selection of dog-friendly treats, goodies and vouchers. Plus, sign up and get a FREE group session in the Dog Den indoor dog play area, all kindly donated by Barnyard.

How it works:

1. Sign up and set your goals – There are no set routes and no minimum daily distance, just complete the 100K in a way that suits you and your dog.
2. Create your fundraising page and start raising sponsorship by clicking here!
3. Spread the word by sharing updates, photos and milestones with friends, family and colleagues.
4. Get walking throughout September and track every kilometre with your four-legged companion.

Every step you take helps make a real difference. By taking part in the Walkies Challenge, you'll be helping St Luke’s provide compassionate care, comfort and support to local patients and their families when they need it most.
