In 2024, we had another record breaking year!
13,383 sighthounds walked around the globe across 511 walks in 42 countries!
Well done everyone!
In 2024 we welcomed Argentina, Bulgaria, Japan, Romania, Slovakia for the 1st time! Along with 22 new Regions across the world!
Thanks also to all the walk organisers and walkers worldwide who contributed to such a great total.
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. This year, 511 walks took place, with more countries than ever before taking part. From London to Auckland, Perth to New York, Cape Town to Dublin, hound owners walked ‘together’ on Sunday 29th September.
Highest attendance for a walk was 687 in Yorkshire, England, closely followed by 278 in Melville, Western Australia. What an amazing spectacle to see this amount of hounds together. You can see the top 10 walks by ‘Globe’ and ‘Country’ here.
The Great Global Greyhound Walk 2025 will take place on Sunday 28th September, and the aim will be 14,000 hounds!
