History Of The \u2018Great Global Greyhound Walk\u2019 (GGGW)<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Great British Greyhound Walk started in 2010 as a seed of an idea and we started walking!\u00a0 In 2014 we \u2018went global\u2019 inviting international Sighthounds to walk as well and the response was amazing!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Walk figures spoke for themselves, and we were no longer just a \u2018British\u2019 event, so we evolved in to the \u2018Great Global Greyhound Walk\u2019!\u00a0 We have gone from 3 countries being involved in 2010, to 36 countries in 2023!<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the Sighthound \/ Walk Numbers and Countries involved here\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Great Global Greyhound Walk<\/strong>\u00a0is an annual dog-walking event that brings together sighthounds and their owners to raise awareness of the breeds and show the public just what wonderful pets they make.<\/span><\/p>\n

The aim is to bring owners together regardless of where their hound is from, to celebrate sighthounds, to raise awareness of hounds in need and to promote sighthounds as pets in a BIG way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event primarily involves hundreds of organised ‘walks’, across the globe, that all take place on the same day. \u00a0All walks are free to attend and are open to everybody, whether they are a sighthound owner or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great Global Greyhound Walk<\/strong> is a project of Greyhound Walks<\/a>, a group of greyhound and lurcher owners who walk most weekends in Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Hertfordshire. In addition to the Sunday walks they\u00a0also hold an annual Greyhound, Lurcher and Fun Dog Show<\/a> each summer in Essex, and organise the now legendary ‘New Years Day Walk’ at Hylands Park in Chelmsford.<\/span><\/p>\n
