Kumara Racing Club

The raceday is a great day out with many families who have moved out of the district returning for the raceday to be with family and friends.

The Club caters for all groups including corporates, weddings, birthday parties, family and school reunions. Free buses are provided from Greymouth and Hokitika to transport patrons to and from the course.

All races have trophies and dress rugs presented to the winning owners. There is good entertainment for children with a kiddies tote, performing clowns and different food experiences such as whitebait or venison. The Club provides live bands on the day including the famous Kokatahi Band and Dateless and Desperate which play from the Pioneer Rotunda. Fashion in the Fields is held for both men and women and these carry good prizes. Local crafts are allowed to sell and support for these products is strong.
