The 2016 Great North Dog Walk.....


We are very proud to of once again been selected as a beneficiary of the world record holding Great North Dog Walk on Sunday the 5th June 2016.

This event is annual and measurable and the last dog walk was the 25th staging. It was held on Sunday 7th June 2015 with 26,423 dogs represented by 185 breeds, starting on The Leas, South Shields, England, United Kingdom, SatNav NE33 2JH. The 3 mile (4.8km) walk follows a coastal route along the cliffs with magnificent sea views. There are four different routes of varying lengths to cater for everyone within the community and over varying surfaces like grass, gravel and concrete. This therefore allows for baby buggies, wheelchairs, the young, the elderly, disabled and also older dogs to support this world record attempt. The event is Internationally recognised and holds the WORLD RECORD as the largest dog walk ever held (22,742 dogs).

So if you'd like to do the walk for us, email joanaustin@shak.org.uk to register and get your entry number and sponsor form. Please note all completed sponsor forms and cheques must be sent to SHAK. Greenwell Road, Alnwick NE66 1HB.

We really are proud to be associated with such a fantastic event, but really need your support with it..... thank you in advance.
