Together with your four-legged adventure buddy, you’ll aim to walk or wheel 100km throughout July, raising funds to support Brake’s vital work helping road victims and campaigning for safer roads.
However, you move, it all counts. Walk, wheel, run, or roll your way to 100km. Whether that’s daily strolls with your dog, longer weekend adventures, or exploring new routes.
And to get your pup challenge-ready, you’ll receive a free Brake dog bandana when you sign up.
Let’s get tails wagging for safer roads.

How does taking part in Paws for Safer Roads support road victims?
At Brake, we believe that every road death is preventable. Our vision is to stop road crashes, reduce harm, and ensure every road victim gets the support they need, for as long as they need it.
We understand that the right support at the right time can change the course of someone's life. Brake’s National Road Victim Service is a free, professional, trauma-informed service providing expert emotional and practical support to anyone who has been bereaved or seriously injured in a road crash road.
Last year, we supported more than 2,000 families in their darkest and most difficult times. Sadly, we know there are many more who need our help, and your support makes a real difference.
