It’s nearly been a week since the Inaugural Barkin Mad Ultra
On the 5th and 6th of October 2024, 120 keen humans with their 4 legged best friends ventured onto the trail at Rokeby.

Saturday started early at 7am with 4 brave individuals attempting Australia’s first ever dog ultra run: Marie-Claire with Ted the chihuahua, Kirstie with Doug, Chelsea and Chris with Ella the Cavie, Beanie the pug and Frankie the greyhound mix.

After they set off, the 20km runners walked to the startline ready to race! It was an epic race with a stacked field of excellent trail pedigree.

Our biggest event was the 10km with over 50 racers/walkers and their four legged friends. They set off at 10am to make memories. And that they did.

On the Sunday, we had our dress up rescue 2km walk/run and many pooches put their best paw forward and looked fabulous.

All in all it was an amazing weekend. Filled with good vibes, pawsome people and furever friends.

More posts and reels to come!

Do I need a dog to compete at Barkin Mad Ultra?

As much as we would love everyone to be running/ walking with a Dogo, it is not mandatory!

We may have the option to pair you up with a rescue Dogo if you express interest ahead of time.

Ultimately, we would love for people to still enter even without a Dogo. Any queries send us an email: [email protected]
