Little legs make for big vibes in the greatest scurry for glory you’ve ever seen.
Bring the dogs, the kids and the smiles
for the magic and the mayhem of the Dash.
Race date is Sunday 7 June. Check in opens at 12:30pm. Heats/races start at 2pm.
Location is Port Fairy Football Oval. Enter via Griffiths Street.
Entry is $15 per dog, payable online when you register below.
Register one dog per form.
The event is capped at 100 dogs across three age categories. Select Under 2 Years, Over 2 Years or Veterans (8+ years).
Registrations close at midnight on 1 June 2026 or when we reach the 100-dog limit, whichever comes first. Late registrations are not accepted, sorry.
Two dog handlers must accompany each dog - one at the start line to hold your dog and one at the finish line to catch your dog.
Please read the race Terms & Conditions.
We’ll email you closer to race day with maps and other key details.
Some compare it to the Melbourne Cup. Others chuckle at the chaos. Everyone feels the small dogs making big, happy atmosphere.
Winter Weekends thanks the Community Bank Port Fairy & District for their generous and ongoing support of this special community event.
