In solidarity with the March to Abolish Animal Testing
Two marches.
Two countries.
One company.
On 12 September a march sets off from Albany, New York and walks 207 miles over 14 days to the gates of Marshall BioResources. We are walking with them — London on the day they set off, Huntingdon on the day they arrive, at the gates of the same company.

That leaves thirteen more days in that window with nobody walking in the UK. You can take one of them.
The other side of the Atlantic
207 miles. 14 days. On foot.
The March to Abolish Animal Testing walks from Albany, New York to Marshall BioResources, North Rose, New York, arriving on 26 September. Marshall BioResources owns MBR Acres. The Americans finish at its gates in New York on the same day we finish at its gates in Cambridgeshire.
That is why our second march finishes where it does. At around the hour the Americans reach the gates in New York, we reach the gates in Cambridgeshire. One company, one afternoon, two countries.

Fill the gaps.
Tap any day to see what is happening on it. The two red days are ours. The grey ones are empty, and they do not have to stay that way — a walk through your town centre with a placard and a stack of leaflets is a day on this timeline, and we will pin it here.

Still empty
The American march is on the road for every one of them. Every grey segment is a day nobody in the UK is walking yet.

London
Our first London march, on the day the Americans set off from Albany. We start at the Brown Dog — the memorial that exists because of a fight over vivisection in this city more than a century ago — and we walk it to Parliament.

The route, stop by stop
The drawn line is indicative — it shows where we are heading, not the exact pavements. The march leaders set the route on the day.
Put it in your calendar
Both options carry the meeting point, the what3words and a reminder the evening before — which is the one that decides whether you travel.
Getting there
Battersea Power Station
Northern line — around 25 minutes on foot.
Queenstown Road
South Western Railway — around 23 minutes on foot.
Battersea Park
National Rail — around 20 minutes on foot.
What to expect
We begin at the Brown Dog Statue, where we will share the history of the memorial and why it still matters. From there we march through central London, stopping at Buckingham Palace, the Royal Society and Downing Street.
Expect speeches, a vigil, group photos and a great deal of opportunity to talk to the public. Our march leader will be flying the new Save the Dogs UK flag.
The walk is around 4 miles, but with stops and activities we expect to be out for at least three hours. Wear comfortable shoes, dress for the weather, and bring water and snacks.
Saturday 26 September 2026
Huntingdon
The one that ends at the gates. We walk from Huntingdon station to MBR Acres and arrive as the Americans arrive at Marshall BioResources in New York — the same company, on the same day, on two sides of the Atlantic.

What to expect
We begin at Huntingdon Railway Station, an easy meeting point for everyone travelling in. From there we make our way through Huntingdon, stopping at the Town Hall, then Tesco Extra for a comfort break, then Sapley Park Playing Fields, before the final stretch towards the gates of MBR Acres.
Along the route there will be Letters to a Beagle readings, public awareness activities, and a photo moment for laboratory beagles.
At the memorial area beside MBR Acres you can take part in the Collar Memorial. We will provide 207 yellow ribbons — one for each mile being walked in the United States. Supporters are invited to tie a ribbon to the trees alongside MBR Acres with their personalised memorial collars. You are welcome to bring a wooden heart, a photograph or another small memorial item to add to the display.
We are aiming to reach MBR Acres at around the same time the March for Animals reaches North Rose, New York — bringing our voices together across the Atlantic for animals used in laboratories.
The walk is around 5 miles, but with stops and activities we expect to be out for around four hours before we arrive at MBR. Wear comfortable shoes, dress for the weather, and bring water and snacks.
Before you set off
Bring this with you
None of it is compulsory and nobody will turn you away without it. But a march that arrives with placards, leaflets and photographs does more work than a march that arrives with empty hands.
Leaflets
If you have Save the Dogs UK leaflets, bring them so we can hand them out along the way. The whole print pack is free to download and print.
Get the print packBanners and placards
Make your own, or build one from the campaign assets. Hand-made ones photograph better than anything we could print for you.
Campaign assetsA photo of a laboratory beagle
Bring one to hold up during the march. Download and print the artwork before you set off — there is nowhere to print it on the day.
Download the artworkA personalised memorial collar
Huntingdon onlyMake and decorate a paper or card collar for a laboratory beagle — a name, a message, words of hope. Bring it with you and it goes on the memorial beside MBR Acres.
Your Save the Dogs UK merchandise
If you have it, wear it. If you do not, there is still time to order.
Order a T-shirtWater, snacks and comfortable shoes
Dress for the weather. This is several hours outdoors on pavement, and there is no shelter at the far end.
Take one of the empty days
Walking somewhere? We will pin it.
The Americans are on the road for all fifteen days of that window. We cover two of them. The other thirteen are open, and they will stay open unless people take them.
It does not have to be big and it does not have to be a march. Four of you walking your high street with placards is a day on the timeline. Tell us where and when, and once we have read it we will pin it so people near you can find it.
Already walked one?
Send us the photos afterwards and we will put them out. The point of the timeline is that no day of those 207 miles passes without someone here on their feet too.
