Adventure Dog is visually stunning with amazing photo opportunities: mud, jelly, snow, and a chalk colour run in the picturesque countryside of the Yarra Valley.
The course has been designed to build and strengthen bonds between humans and canines and celebrate the relationship we have with our dogs.

Regular competitor Aaron, with his dog Brandy, completed four laps of the course last year.
“It’s a fantastic, feel-good event,” says Aaron, “I was happily surprised at how many like-minded people came together to support Animal Aid.”Aaron has chosen to fundraise to help the lost and homeless animals at Animal Aid.
“This will be our second year at the event, I love dogs and my heart breaks for those without a home. Every little bit helps, so Brandy and I hope to reach our fundraising goal.”
"This year, our goal is to raise over $80,000 from this event," said Elle Ammann, Communications & Engagement Manager.
"It's a big goal but we aim high as we need to support over 6,000 homeless animals each year at the shelter."
- The event is open to all dogs over 12 months old
- A $55 registration fee for one human and their dog to enter
- The event is free to attend, with spectators able to cheer on from the sideline
