350 sled dogs descend upon Dinner Plain this weekend
With more snow falls predicted this coming week the countdown begins for the 25th Dinner Plan Sled Dog Challenge, Australia’s original and most challenging sled dog race on snow, which is being held over the weekend of 11th – 12th August at Dinner Plain, 8km east of Mt Hotham.
Celebrating 25 years this annual event attracts the strongest Mushers and the fittest of sled dog teams from Australia and New Zealand. 78 entries will see around 350+ sled dogs attempt to achieve their fastest times as they dodge and weave their way through Dinner Plain’s stunning terrain and snow gum lined trails.
Pitting their athleticism and courage against each other and against the combined elements of difficult terrain, possible blizzards, snow, ice and fog, teams will set out from Dinner Plain Village at 9am each day.
