Bairnsdale Racing Track

Bairnsdale Racecourse is located in Victoria’s varied Gippsland region, around 290km east of Melbourne. A visit to the course offers the chance to experience a town that balances the energy of a strong agricultural base with the calm charm of a historic riverside setting along the Mitchell River.

The track features a maximum circuit distance of 1,800m, includes three turns, and has a 280m home straight leading to the winning post. Racegoers enjoy a relaxed and comfortable environment, with wide open spaces that are ideal for setting up a marquee or simply enjoying a picnic on the lawns while watching the racing.

Each October, this usually tranquil venue comes alive for its feature meeting, the Bairnsdale Cup, drawing crowds to the region for a lively day of racing and festivities.
