100km in October: turn kilometres into kindness

Our virtual challenge is BACK! This October, we’re inviting animal lovers across the UK to complete 100km and raise vital funds for dogs and cats in Sri Lanka.

And this year is extra special as Dogstar celebrates its 20th anniversary!

By joining the challenge, you’ll be helping vulnerable dogs and cats access the food and veterinary care they need – continuing a mission that began 20 years ago.

How it works

Taking part is simple:

1. Sign up and create your fundraising page through Facebook or JustGiving.

2. Once your fundraiser reaches £10, we’ll send your Welcome Pack, including a FREE “Sorry I'm late, I saw a dog” Dogstar tote bag, welcome letter and distance tracker.

3. Complete 100km throughout October – that’s just over 3km a day!

4. Unlock extra Dogstar thank-yous as your fundraising grows: a magnetic shopping list notepad when you reach £75, and an exclusive “Sorry I'm late, I saw a dog” Dogstar hoodie at £250.

Take on the challenge

We’ve set up a dedicated Facebook group for this year’s challenge, where you can connect with fellow challengers, pick up fundraising tips, celebrate your progress and cheer each other on along the way.
