Dinner Plain Village is proud to be home to the
only Sled Dog race in Australia held on snow. With most
alpine resorts being on Crown Land in the midst of National
Parks, Dinner Plain's unique freehold ownership provides a unique
location for this annual event.
Approximately 95 teams from
all over Australia, incorporating over 300 dogs of all sizes
and descriptions, such as Malamutes and Samoyeds, are expected
to compete on a specially designed eight to ten kilometer
track around the village.
It is a wonderful spectator
event as these delightful creatures frolic in the snow before
harnessing up for their dash around the course.
With special accommodation packages
available for both competitors and spectators this unique
event is one not to be missed.
Results from the previous runnings of the event
are now available on the Media
Page
The 2008 event will be held
on the weekend of 9th-10th August. Book early to make sure you can find accommodation.
