The winter sports season may be over, but the racing is just getting started at Whitsunday Sportspark.
Dashie racing is coming to Oktoberfest, with qualifying heats on Saturday 10 October and the grand final on Saturday 17 October. The winning dachshund will take home $1,000. Dachshund owners are encouraged to register their little racers, and everyone is welcome to come down and cheer them on.
There will be a race for the humans, too. Keg rolling is planned for one of the Oktoberfest Sundays, giving the public a chance to get involved in the action. The date and entry details will be announced soon.
Club Whitsunday and Whitsunday Sportspark are working together to keep the precinct active as the winter sporting calendar winds down. Oktoberfest is a chance to bring people back to the Sportspark for something a little different, whether they’re racing, cheering or simply enjoying the day.
