Canine Cup Adelaide 2025 - March 10



The Canine Cup: The BEST Alternative to the Adelaide Cup! 

Experience a day at the races like never before — filled with glamour, fun, and purpose. 
The Canine Cup offers all the excitement of a traditional race day, but without the guilt, making it the ultimate event for animal lovers and racing enthusiasts alike!




Canine Cup is much like a race day luncheon, except better in every way! It's cruelty free and the 'races' you watch are of dogs running (or not running if that's what they prefer) from one owner to another in a massive game of recall - no whips, drugs, added weight or any other traditional racing methods here. 

You get to pre-select your favourite 'racer' and if they come first or last, you go in the draw to win amazing prizes! The best part is the dogs don't only feature on the big screen... they'll also be at the event for everyone's favourite meet and greet photo ops! 

You'll have unlimited access to a photo-booth throughout the day for you to capture your memories of the most fun day of the year.
There's also a Canine Cup fashion competition with great prizes up for grabs, so make sure you register early for the parade!

For a Great Cause

All funds raised from the Canine Cup will go towards supporting the work of both Paws For Change and Safe Pets Safe Familiestwo SA-founded organisations delivering local and global impact.

Over the years, this event has raised over $50,000 for various animal welfare groups.
