Packed Weekend: Celebrate the Show The Pack
If I could travel the world with my dog it would be amazing, but unfortunately, he is the size of a small horse and makes traveling difficult. Haha! But that is exactly the premise of Amazon Prime Video’s new show The Pack hosted by Lindsey Vonn. You can read all about the show below, but if you love the Amazing Race then I know for sure you are going to love The Pack. I have all the information below on the new show as well as information on Packed Weekend, happening this weekend, to help celebrate the release of the new show.
To celebrate Packed Weekend D.C. area businesses will be offering discounts, activities, and experiences. Full Event Details for the Washington, D.C. area at PackedWeekend.com, but if you use the search feature you will be able to see if there are any activities near you!

About THE PACK
The Pack is a new global unscripted series that celebrates the unrivaled bond between dogs and their human companions. Hosted by gold medalist Lindsey Vonn and her canine co-host Lucy, the series features twelve teams of dogs and their humans on an epic adventure across multiple continents. The Amazon Original series The Pack will premiere on November 20th, on Amazon Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories.
At stake is a life-changing $750,000 for the winning duo and their charity, with $500,000 going to the winners and $250,000 for the animal charity of their choice. Additionally, The Pack donated $250,000 during filming to multiple charities and animal rescue organizations in each country, helping to pay it forward to dogs and those who love them around the world. To win the monetary prize for themselves and their charity, the teams will have to depend on their understanding of one another’s strengths and weaknesses and prove to have the strongest bond in the pack. In each locale, the human and dog duos will face fun and exciting challenges, designed in concert with a team of accredited veterinarians and certified dog experts that also accompany the group on their exciting journey, making sure it is a positive experience for everyone.

During the course of the PACK WALK CHALLENGE, pet parents are encouraged to donate to three worthy charitable organizations right in the app –The American Heart Association’s Healthy Bond for Life, Environmental Defense Fund, and Best Friends Animal Society– to spotlight their own health, that of the planet and to help every dog live their best life. And, to honor the spirit of charity at the heart of The Pack, Prime Video will generously match consumer donations up to $100,000 (split evenly among the charities) for a 24-hour window beginning November 21st. After completing the Challenge, eligible participants will have the chance to win a prize package, including roundtrip travel for four anywhere Alaska Airlines flies.
