Super Saturday on the Coast returns

SUPER Saturday on the Coast at Geelong Racing Club (GRC) is set to return bigger and better than ever on January 4, offering a relaxed day of quality racing, family fun, and plenty of off-track entertainment.

This year, the club is pulling out all the stops, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy – young, old, racing enthusiast, or casual spectator.

At the heart of this summer extravaganza is the racing itself, with metro-grade horses taking to the track.

Expect an elevated standard of competition compared to a typical country meet, as top-tier thoroughbreds vie for the winning post. For racing fans, it’s the perfect chance to see quality fields without heading into the city.

Children will be well entertained with free entry, facepainting, a waterpark and petting zoo.

But it’s not all about the racing. Families will find Super Saturday on the Coast the ideal day out, with free entry for kids and a dedicated entertainment zone that promises endless excitement.

From face painting to a refreshing waterpark and even a petting zoo, children can spend hours having fun – yes, they can literally spend the day in their bathers.

Parents will appreciate the new umbrella packages set up beside the kids’ area, allowing them to relax, watch the on-track action, and still keep an eye on the little ones.

Across the course, live music, food trucks, and pop-up bars will create a festive atmosphere perfect for catching up with friends. There will be roving performers, games, and plenty of giveaways.

Adults looking for a bit more thrill can head to the Furphy Lawn for a lively mix of entertainment, tasty treats, and a chance to soak in the summer vibes.

This year’s event will see the addition of the Ladbrokes Hole in One Golf Game, where players have the chance to win $5,000.

The Geelong Racing Club’s commitment to the local community shines through in the Community Sweep Race, where sporting clubs compete for a share of $40,000 in prize money. This unique feature highlights the GRC’s dedication to supporting its neighbours and nurturing a sense of local pride.

One of the day’s standout attractions is the Ladbrokes Hole in One Golf Game, where you can put your swing to the test for a chance to win $5,000.

It’s an exciting twist adding a bit of friendly competition off the track, ensuring there’s always something fun happening.

With free local buses available (book early), affordable family packages, and a range of entertainment on offer, Super Saturday on the Coast is set to become a highlight of the Geelong summer calendar – an unmissable day of laid-back racing, community spirit, and all-ages fun.
