Adventure seeking Mount Evelyn residents are being encouraged to sign up for the ultimate mud-tastic task happening in support of a local animal rescue agency.
In just over four weeks time you could be competing as one of the Adventure Dog champions, running through the mud, jelly, rivers and colourful bursts of chalk with your best four legged friend.
On 3 April at the picturesque Wandin Park Equestrian Centre, participants will be mentally and physically challenged by 25 obstacles spread over almost four kilometres.
The fundraising event has been carefully crafted to be both engaging and exciting for human and canines alike.
Regular competition challenger Dillon, with his race assistant Stitch, completed the course four times last year.
“My favourite part of the event was having my best mate with me and doing a mud and obstacle run,” he said.
“I compete in other obstacle runs but can’t take Stitch on those, so Adventure Dog is an awesome day for him. It’s the perfect day to extend your bond with your best mate and hit some fitness goals. Letting your doggo meet other friends and playing in the mud doesn’t get more fun than that.”
Dillon has chosen to fundraise this year to help the lost and homeless animals at Animal Aid.
“After doing the event last year, we met a lot of people who told us their stories of how Animal Aid had helped care for their pets or where they went to adopt.”
Animal Aid has been helping animals in need for over 70 years and receives no government funding to operate, relying heavily on fundraising activities and community support.
Every year over 6000 animals come through the Animal Aid doors, each one receives the highest quality care and support until the team can get them home.
