Description:
Dinner Plain is the only Australian Alpine Village where sled dogs are allowed to race, one weekend a year.
Celebrating more than 16 years of successful sled dog racing, this race is held over a weekend with 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 dog teams competing.
This annual event showcases the top dogs of sled dog racing in Australia. Teams travel from WA, Queensland, SA, NSW and Victoria to compete in this event. Spectators are most welcome, but it is stressed that dogs not competing be left at home.
Held annually amidst the breathtaking scenery of Dinner Plain, located in the spectacular Victorian High Country the ADVANCE Sled Dog Challenge showcases Australia's best Sled Dog teams in Australia's only snow-based Sled Dog Race.
Attracting competitors from all over the country and with growing international attention, the ADVANCE Sled Dog Challenge is the most prestigious event of the annual Sled Dog racing calendar.
More than 70 Mushers (dog team drivers) and in excess of 350 sled dogs are expected to compete in this year’s event which also features an exhilarating touring class event. With the sport maturing, demand has peaked for a slower touring class enabling older and previously retired dogs an opportunity to once again run on snow.
The race provides a unique experience for competitors and spectators alike to experience the sport of Sled Dog racing as it was meant to be.
