Sled Dog Challenge at Dinner Palin - Dinner Plain, Victoria AU 
Victorian High Country will play host to the 23rd running of the Altitude 5000 Dinner Plain Sled Dog Challenge
Dinner Plain Alpine Village, located in the spectacular Victorian High Country will play host to the 23rd running of the Altitude 5000 Dinner Plain Sled Dog Challenge, to be held over the weekend of August 13th/14th. Australia’s original, and most prestigious Sled Dog race will once again see Sled Dog teams from across Australia competing for victory on the stunning tree lined trails of Dinner Plain.
2016 marks another important milestone in the history of the event. This year the Dinner Plain Sled Dog Challenge turns 23! Altitude 5000 would like to invite supporters of the race, both old and new to join us for all the fun and excitement as we once again celebrate this annual milestone.
More than 70 Mushers (dog team drivers), and in excess of 350 sled dogs are expected to compete in this year’s event across 5 classes. With the sport maturing (and some of the mushers and dogs!), the popular Touring class will gives an opportunity for older, retired dog sled teams to once again run on the snow, in a less competitive environment.
The race provides a unique experience for competitors and spectators alike to experience the sport of Sled Dog racing in a pristine Alpine Environment.
