No, you aren’t dreaming. The Teckelrennen Annual Dachshund Race is a real thing.

The yearly event took place Saturday in Melbourne, Australia, where dozens of dachshunds gather each year as part of the Hophaus beer hall’s Oktoberfest celebrations.

At the festival, pups can compete in the 15-meter “running of the wieners,” which raises money for Dachshund Rescue Australia. There’s also a costume contest, in case fancy dress is more your speed.
