Think Tough Mudder but with a dog. That’s what Animal Aid’s Adventure Dog – A Cross Country Challenge is all about.
The event is taking place this year on 5 April at Wandin Park Equestrian Centre.
Canine and human participants will be challenged across the 4km course with 25 obstacles that involve mud, bubbles, inflatables and much more.
It may sound intense, but the event has been designed to ensure the event is a fun day out for dogs and families alike.
Fur babies and their mums and dads will venture over hills, under logs, through the mud and lunge into water, all while enjoying great views of the Yarra Valley towards Mt Donna Buang.
Participants can bring along friends and family and hit the course as teams of two or four.
Those who don’t want to complete the course are still invited to show support for those taking part, with plenty of activities, food and drinks on offer.
Adventure Dog will help to raise funds for Animal Aid, to support homeless or unwanted animals.
Animal Aid is challenging participants to raise $250 per person.
Those who achieve their fundraising goal will join the ranks of fundraising heroes and will be thanked with Adventure Dog – A Cross Country Challenge merchandise.
Human entrants must be aged 12 years or over and dog entrants must be aged one year or over.
