Our Story
Better days outside, shared with the ones who love them most.
RunPawUK is a small British workshop building outdoor gear for dogs and the people who can't imagine a weekend without them.
Where it began
A wet morning in Hebden Bridge.
In 2020 our founder, Tom, was four miles into a sodden run on Heptonstall Moor with his rescue labrador, Bo. The cheap harness Bo was wearing had rubbed his shoulder raw. They turned back early.
That night Tom sketched a harness on the back of an envelope — softer, shaped for movement, made with the kind of webbing that climbers actually trust. Six prototypes later, Bo wore the first Fells Harness for two years without a single complaint.
We've grown slowly since. New patterns, new colours, the same workshop in West Yorkshire and the same patient way of working: design it for our own dogs first, then offer it to yours.
Designed in Britain
Every pattern, every prototype, every field test starts in our Hebden Bridge studio.
Built to outlast trends
We'd rather make one harness that lasts a decade than ten that don't see two winters.
For the whole pack
A portion of every order supports Dogs Trust UK and local mountain rescue teams.
