Carnarvon Races

Carnarvon’s prominent racing season runs from May to September, culminating in the running of the Carnarvon Cup. The cup’s lucrative prize money for a country venue often lures some of the better performers from other country cup carnivals. Carnarvon, located in the heart of the Gascoyne on the doorstep of the Indian Ocean, is a racing hub for several trainers and also attracts racing participants from around the North-West, the Kimberley and the Mid-West.
