Great Global Greyhound Walk

The Great Global Greyhound Walk is an annual dog-walking event that brings together greyhounds, lurchers, other sighthounds and their owners to raise awareness of the breeds and show the public just what wonderful pets they make.

Each Great Global Greyhound Walk is organised by a local volunteer. And, to make a day of it, the walks are often followed by a social or fundraising event: picnics, BBQ’s, mini dog shows, awareness stalls etc. to help promote the hounds even more and hopefully raise some much needed funds for those still waiting for homes.

The annual event aims to raise awareness of greyhounds, and their sighthound cousins, as great pets. Originally started in the UK, it is now very much a global affair. From London to Auckland, Perth to New York, Cape Town to Dublin, hound owners walk 'together'.

In 2023 the dog walking event had another record breaking year. 11,818 sighthounds walked around the globe across 458 walks in 36 countries. Highest attendance for a walk was 503 in Yorkshire, England, closely followed by 308 in Burswood, Western Australia.

In 2023 the event welcomed China, Falkland Islands, Finland, Greece, Mauritius, Poland and Hungary for the first time. Woof!

This year the aim is be 12,000 hounds!
