    WHAT IS THE BARKIN’ MAD ULTRA?

    For the third year running, we bring you the Barkin Mad Ultra. What better way to spend a weekend than running with your best friend on beautiful native forest trails.

    YOU DO NOT Need a Dog to Enter!

    The Barkin’ Mad Ultra 2026, bought to you by Aus Hair of the Dog Inc., is an ultrarunning festival that celebrates the human animal bond. Dogs running to save dogs. Ultrarunners, let alone trail runners, are a different breed of people. Often the best running companions are those of the canine persuasion.

    This event welcomes 400+ runners and walkers to challenge themselves and their four legged friends to collectively raise $30,000+ to support the work done by the Aus Hair of the Dog Inc. and educate on the predicament of the Baw Baw Shire dog shelter.

    WHY?

    Aus Hair of the Dog Rescue Inc. is a Victorian based rescue that is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of dogs. Here are a just a few reasons the Barkin' Mad Ultra was established:

    • Funding to house rescue dogs as they wait for their FurEver homes

    • Create new economies for local communities

    • Get more people into wild places

    • Enhance the human animal bond

    We have the chance to help make positive pawprints for change!
