The iconic Pub to Pub race was in danger of disappearing. AAC Dinner Plain has stepped in to keep the iconic event going. It is on at the same day as our club alpine race. If you are not participating in our race, then this woud be a great event to support. Start time is 11am, so plenty of time to drive up from the valley if you are not staying on the mountain.
More about the event
The Pub to Pub is a citizen cross-country race from Hotham to Dinner Plain which has been run on the first weekend in August each year for over 30 years.
It starts outside the General at Hotham and finishes at the state school in Dinner Plain - the pub to pub objective is traditionally consummated with lunch at the High Plains Hotel.
The course is approximately 13km on a groomed trail, passing through picturesque snow gums, wide snow plains and passing heritage huts.
The Australian Alpine Club at Dinner Plain Board is leading the organisation and running of the race this year, to continue the tradition of what the Hotham Stakeholders Association (HSA) calls an "iconic event".
We have assistance from the long-time organisers of the event (who stepped down after last year's race), HSA, and the Wangaratta Ski Club in ensuring that the Pub to Pub is not lost to the skiing community and the business communities at Hotham and Dinner Plain.
This endeavour is consistent with the AAC Mission - To promote the sport of skiing and allied winter sports; to promote tests and competitive skiing, and tours and exploration on skis.
