The Sunshine Coast Turf Club (SCTC) proudly launches 40 Years, 40 Memories — a digital and on-course campaign celebrating four decades of racing, community and legacy since the club’s first official raceday on 25 July 1985.
Running from Monday 16 June to Friday 25 July 2025, the campaign shares 40 moments over 40 days, honouring some of the people and milestones that have shaped SCTC into one of Queensland’s most progressive and community-connected racing venues.

The community is encouraged to engage with each post — tagging friends, sharing stories, and helping ensure every chapter is remembered.
