FAQ

You can use apps like Strava, AllTrails, or MapMyRun to track your hikes. A GPS watch, Fitbit, or Apple Watch works too. If you’re on a familiar route, you can also measure distance ahead of time. 

Miles count when you and your dog walk or hike together on a trail, path, or outdoor route. Leashed neighborhood walks are okay if they’re intentional outings, but the spirit of this project is getting outdoors for adventure. 

To keep things fair and fun, only hikes completed after you join count toward your mileage. Think of it as a fresh start and a new adventure for you and your dog! 

Yes! Each dog can have their own profile so you can track their individual miles and milestones. 

Absolutely. Every dog is different. Some may hike for miles, while others prefer shorter adventures. Always check with your vet about what’s safe for your dog’s age, breed, and health. 

Nope! From tiny trail pups to mountain-loving huskies, all dogs are welcome. Just adjust your mileage goals to your dog’s comfort and abilities. 

Treadmill or indoor walking doesn’t count — this project is all about the outdoor experience. 

Nope! Joining, earning badges, and tracking your hikes on the dashboard are all free. We do offer optional extras (like premium challenges, exclusive rewards, and lifetime trail history access), but the core experience is included for everyone. 

No worries! You can always add it later as long as you know the distance.
