This July, the nutritionally tailored dog food service, tails.com, is giving Londoners and their canine companions a chance for sporting glory by competing in the ultimate walk with a difference: Bark Run.
Bark Run is a 3km running and obstacle course around Wimbledon Common which can be completed at any pace – whether that’s a competitive mad dash or just a leisurely stroll for a bit of fun – all owners and their dog duos have the opportunity to complete a series of activities tailored to their dogs’ needs. For those with short legs, there is a specially designed 1km short cut route created just for you!
Whether you’ve got a lazy Labrador or an agile Akita – you and your pooch partner will get the chance to test your balance and bravery with activities such as the Zig Wag, the Speedy Slalom and if you’re not careful… you might even get a soaking surprise in the Drenched Dog Dash!
No matter if you’re a seasoned pro, or just looking for an excuse for tasty, doggy treats at the end – the Bark Run experience is designed for all dogs to put their paws to the test and most importantly… have fun!
Post challenge, all ‘dogletes’ can be fuelled up with their very own delicious tails.com treat ‘pick n mix’.
