Evergreen Turf Country Championships – Mudgee

Sport takes centre stage in the Mudgee region for a weekend celebrating country, community and lifestyle. Friends, families and couples of all ages are invited to make it their February getaway.

The Central Districts Evergreen Turf Country Championships Qualifier is a crucial step on the road to the $1 million Country Championships Final at Royal Randwick. With $150,000 in prize money on the line, the stakes are high. Only the first two finishers earn a spot on racing's biggest country stage, in a contest of intensity, courage and local pride.

Trackside, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. Live music, quality food and drinks, hospitality spaces and family-friendly activations combine with the excitement of racing to create an authentic country race day experience.

Beyond the track, Mudgee shines. Explore award-winning wineries and cellar doors, sample local produce, wander historic streets and boutique shops, or relax at standout cafes and restaurants. Scenic lookouts and nearby villages complete the experience. Arrive Friday to enjoy the region's renowned wineries, take in racing on Saturday, then finish with footy on Sunday. Just a few hours from Sydney and regional NSW, Mudgee guarantees an unforgettable weekend.
