Each year, greyhounds and other sighthounds gather in communities around the world to be seen, celebrated and recognised as the gentle, loving pets they are.
Australia’s recorded journey began in 2014 with one walk and 90 sighthounds. By 2026, 3,005 hounds joined 107 walks across every state and territory—a new Australian record for hounds, walks and regions.
Behind every number is a local organiser, a welcoming walking group and a greyhound being seen as a companion. Together, Australia’s communities have helped turn one annual event into a powerful celebration of adoption, friendship and belonging.
