Te Awamutu and The Waipa Racing Club

Founded in 1915 the Waipa Racing Club has enjoyed many years of successful racing. We have welcomed back the Te Awamutu/Cambridge Trotting Club who held their first Meeting in December 2006 after more than 30 years. This years Trotting Meeting will be held on Tuesday 30th December 2008, it will be a Summer Destination Day!

Our training centre is home to around 300 horses who use the facilities daily for training. We now hold 8 Thoroughbred Racemeetings, 1 Trotting Meeting and 9 Trial days this year.

Located in the heart of the Waikato, Te Awamutu is known as the "Rose Town" of New Zealand.

Situated on State Highway 3, we are approximately 25 mins (36kms) south of the city of Hamilton,18kms from Hamilton's International Airport and 20 minutes (30km South-west of Cambridge.

How To Get To The Te Awamutu Racecourse

As you enter Te Awamutu from Hamilton (north) take the first road on the right at the bottom of the hill (Racecourse Road), then approximately 100 metres on the right is the entrance to the Waipa Racing Club.

If you are coming from Cambridge simply turn right at the roundabout (road to Hamilton) and then Racecourse Road is approximately 500m on your left (before you start to go up the hill out of Te Awamutu).

From the South turn right at the first roundabout (into Albert Park Drive, also know as the "bypass"), at the second roundabout go straight ahead (to Hamilton) and then Racecourse Road is approximately 500m on your left.
