A Meaningful ANZAC Day Experience on the Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast Turf Club ANZAC Day Races return on Saturday 25 April, delivering one of the region’s most significant and well‑attended commemorative events.
Commemorative Service Before the First Race
Proceedings begin with a trackside ANZAC Day commemorative service at 1:40pm, prior to the first race. A minute’s silence will be observed across the course, creating a shared moment of reflection before the raceday gets underway.
Full Raceday Program + Two-Up
Following the service, guests can enjoy a full afternoon racing program, with the first race at 2:19pm and the final race at 6:09pm.
Supporting Veterans on the Sunshine Coast
Poppies will be available on the day in support of Veterans Wellbeing Foundation Sunshine Coast, reinforcing the Club’s ongoing commitment to local veterans and their families.
Over the past three years, Sunshine Coast Turf Club has built strong ties with veteran support organisations, ensuring this raceday delivers both meaningful recognition and practical community support.
A Raceday Built on Respect
“ANZAC Day holds deep significance for our community, and it’s a privilege for the Sunshine Coast Turf Club to provide a place where people can come together to remember, reflect and connect. This raceday is about respect, remembrance and supporting the organisations that continue to care for our veterans.”
