Designed in the shape of a dog’s face, the 1km ‘Joint Effort’ relay race involved a ‘golden leash’ – passed from one good boy (and girl) to the next in a canine version of the ‘Olympic torch relay.’
Kitted out in sporting vests and ready to fetch the winning prize, the six pooches, all different breeds and backgrounds, took on the challenges inspired by the legendary agility course at Crufts after taking part in the designed by Laura Muir and leading joint supplement brand YuMOVE to get them in their best shape.

The dream team included Hector the Lab, Pippa the Two-Legged Wonder, Tina the Mastiff, Rolo the Support Hero, Ella the Greyhound, and Nigel the Agility Ace.
“This race was such a great experience combining two of my greatest loves – running and dogs,” said Laura, the British record holder for the 1500m.

“As a trained vet, I know that keeping joints healthy is a joint effort between pup and pet parent. With the right joint care supplement, such as YuMOVE Joint Care and plenty of tail-wagging exercise, every dog can live their best, most active life.”
The wintry weather means many humans are walking their dogs less, and the challenge encourages owners to help their furry friends stay active. Now, dog owners across the country can get involved and take part in the challenge too.
