Over the long weekend, myself, Cora and Charm made the trip over to Victoria to take part in the Northern Victoria Sled Dog Classic, Australiaās biggest dryland sled dog event.
It was a bit of a last-minute decision. After entering our very first race only a few weeks ago and quickly catching the bug, we figured there was no better excuse for a road trip with a few of the dogs.
What an incredible weekend it turned out to be. The event was so well run, the atmosphere was fantastic, and it was great meeting so many people who share a passion for working dogs and dog sports.
It was also our first Canicross event with Charm, who was a very good sport about my latest obsession. While she may not be setting any speed records anytime soon, she gave it a go, had a great time, and reminded me that not every dog needs to be competitive to enjoy the adventure.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped us over the weekend, offered advice, answered questions, and made us feel so welcome. We are incredibly grateful for the support.
Safe to say weāre hooked and already looking forward to the next event here in Adelaide. If youāve ever thought about getting involved in sled dog sports, canicross, bikejoring, or scootering, reach out to the South Australian Sled Dog Club for more information. Itās a fantastic community and a great way to get out and do something fun with your dog.
Youāll definitely be seeing our faces at a few more events this season!
