The mission of Greyhounds Reach the Beach® is to provide fulfillment for retired racing greyhounds and other sighthounds and the people who love and care for them. We do this by organizing and hosting an annual event that offers education, socialization, and just plain fun for the greyhound adoption community. We strive to support greyhound adoption groups by providing space for them to raise awareness and funding for their organizations.
GRtB is held every Columbus Day weekend in the ocean communities of Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; dates for this year are 10/10-13. The event is in its 30th year! GRtB has been held in the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center (RBCC) since 2019. Directions to the RBCC and parking information can be found here. Started in 1995 by several friends meeting in Dewey Beach for the weekend, Greyhounds Reach the Beach® was managed for many years by The Greyhound Project, then by The Grapehound Wine Tour, Inc. from 2015 - 2021 and by Greyhound Pet Adoptions of Delaware - GPAD starting in 2022.
GRtB features speakers, vendors in both the RBCC and Rehoboth Fire Hall, boat tours, walking tours in historic Lewes, leisurely strolls and professional photo sessions with your hound(s) on the beach, an auction & raffle, a parade, a bonfire on the beach, and a Blessing of the Hounds.
If you plan to attend this year, we ask that you register so you can receive an E-booklet prior to the event. The E-booklet has detailed information about speakers, vendors and planned activities. Your registration fee also allows Greyhound Pet Adoptions of Delaware, an all-volunteer 501c3 organization, to cover the expenses associated with organizing and running such a huge multi-day event.
Questions about GRtB 2024 can be sent to info@grtb.org. Please check this website and/or follow the Greyhounds Reach the Beach® Facebook group for updates as the event gets closer and while it's underway.
Although online registration closed on 10/1, you can still register in person at the Convention Center for $35 per person - just look for the registration desk!
