How do I keep track of how many kms I have walked?
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. We will also send you a paper km tracker in your pack so you can tot up your daily kms.

You can manually add your KMs 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 (KMs).

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