The outdoor event company has unveiled the Dirty Dog Tail Run, which takes the popularity of trail running and combines it with a love of dogs.
The first dog trail running event will be held in the Coopernook State Forest in late August.
Held in a partnership with Forestry NSW, dog lovers can run or walk either a four or eight kilometre forest course that will get them and their dogs out into the great outdoors exploring.
“Entrants will experience the freedom of a forest trail away from the usual suburban dog friendly haunts and have a great day with other pooch lovers,” event creator Danielle Donnelly said.
“As well as a chance to run wild there will be displays, games, stalls, food and entertainment creating the perfect event for humans and hounds.”
The event team combines the adventure event expertise of Fully Rad Adventures’ Danielle Donnelly and Richard Old, with local vets from the Sweet Pea Animal Rescue, Rob and Sam, and Richard and Danielle’s dogs, Molly the golden retriever and Jack the border collie.
“We wanted to create an event that connected people and their dogs to the outdoors in an challenging but safe setting,” event manager Richard Old said.
“Having Molly and Jack involved means we have doggie feedback and having Rob and Sam part of the team ensures the event is safe.”
The Dirty Dog Tail Run also has a serious side and supports local animal shelters as well as animals
Entries are open now for the Coopernook event on Sunday, August 28.
