The Muddy Dog Challenge is a 2.5K and 5K obstacle course that you can take on with your dog by your side. Whether you’re keen to run, or would rather walk, you can tackle the course with friends and family, with or without a dog. Just prepare yourself for a day of mud, sweat, and cheers!

By taking part and fundraising for Battersea, you’ll be helping provide love and care for the thousands of dogs and cats that come into their care, and even those that might never find their way to a Battersea centre.

Registration for Muddy Dog Challenge Leeds closes on Sunday 24 September 2023, registrations are not taken after this date and if the event reaches capacity, registrations will close early, so we advise booking early to avoid disappointment.
