How do I keep track of how many kmiles I have run?
add remove

The best way is to use your smart phone. If you have an iPhone or Samsung there will be a preinstalled ‘Health’ App that tracks your daily steps and distance walked. Other apps you can use are: Strava, Runkeeper, Map My Walk and others. If not, you can always have a look on a map (digital or printed) to calculate your distances and manually add them on fundraising page. We will also send you a paper miles tracker in your pack so you can total up your daily miles.

You can manually add your miles to your Dogs Trust fundraising page to keep the tally of your distance for your sponsors to see.

Follow these steps to manually add your activity:

1. Log in to your account and select My Fitness Activity.

2. Under Add activity, enter the required fields (miles).

3. The logged activity will now appear on your fundraising page
