A short history of The Great Global Greyhound Walk...
Taking place all over the world on Sunday 9th June 2019, the GGGW is an annual celebration of one of the most historic and recognizable breeds of dog, famed for their incredible athleticism, noble stature, gentle nature, and calm temperament - and show the public just what wonderful pets they make.
The event is the brainchild of Greyhound Walks, a registered charity which began in East Anglia, with the aim of socializing and promoting greyhounds as pets by organizing local walks. Ten years ago their small group of volunteers decided to bring together sight-hound owners across the UK with a national event, originally known as the “Great British Greyhound Walk”. The event captured the hearts and minds of greyhound owners across the UK and in 2014 the walk became global, with last year’s event seeing walks as far afield as New Zealand, USA, throughout Europe, and even Abu Dhabi.
