Held annually amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Dinner Plain Alpine Village, located in the spectacular Victorian High Country the Dinner Plain Sled Dog Challenge showcases Australia's best Sled Dog teams in Australia's only snow-based Sled Dog Race.

The event attracts competitors from across Australia, and in recent years has attracted international attention with entries received from New Zealand, and race marshalls coming all the way from Alaska! The Dinner Plain 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.

Book now as this unique event is not to be missed & accomodation in the picturesque Dinner Plain Village can be in high demand at this time of year. Great value accommodation packages are now available, click here for more details.

 
PLEASE NOTE ONLY DOGS COMPETING ARE ALLOWED ENTRY TO THE ALPINE AREA AND DINNER PLAIN.
SPECTATORS ARE REQUESTED TO PLEASE LEAVE THEIR DOGS AT HOME.
