Kempsey Racing Track

Kempsey Racecourse is set among the lush green landscapes of the Macleay Valley, around 430km north of Sydney. The venue is conveniently located just 10km from the striking beaches of Hat Head.

The track features an undulating circuit with a circumference of 1,580m, which can present a challenge for some runners. Around the 1000m mark the surface dips before rising again at the home turn and leading into the 300m start–finish straight. Autumn is the highlight of the racing calendar, when locals and visitors come together for the Kempsey Cup, a meeting known for its relaxed atmosphere and lively social scene.
