Hamilton Cup

The Hamilton Cup is a 2200m horse race that is held in October each year at the Hamilton Racecourse in the Grampians.

The richness of the land on which the racecourse is located offers a breathtakingly beautiful background for the races as the lush greenery blends effortlessly with the blue sky.

The Hamilton Cup is a fun racing event for the whole family, with punters coming along to bet on their favourite horse and hope they pick a winner. Suitable for families, the cup is held at a typical country track, which means that casual attire is perfectly acceptable as well as picnics (no BYO alcohol).

Many people come to the Hamilton Cup with a group of friends and family, as there are heaps of fun things to enjoy whilst at the course. Apart from betting on the races, there are also Fashion on the Fields events and heaps of free entertainment for the kids. There will be a jumping castle, face painting as well as live music for the whole family.

There is plenty of food for sale at the Hamilton Racecourse as are plenty of drinks, including some local wines and beers. There are on-course bar and tote facilities so that you never have to leave the track side.
