SUNDAY 9 JUNE 2024 • PORT FAIRY GARDENS OVAL
COMMUNITY BANK PORT FAIRY AND DISTRICT

16th Annual Dachshund Dash

Registrations are closed. The field is set.

We. Are. Ready.
For the chaos and the cuteness.
For the speedy and the silly.
For the magic and the mayhem.

Gates open at 12.30pm.
At 2.00pm, we race.

Some compare it to the Melbourne Cup. Others chuckle at the chaos. Everyone feels the small dogs making big, happy atmosphere.
