Yeehah! The Picnic Races are returning to Harden Race Course for 2022 and if you've never experienced the fun of the picnics before, you should pencil this into your calendar.
The picnics are amateur horse races where the jockeys may be a little bigger and the horses may be a little slower than you might expect at the big races. While the horses are important, the picnic races are a big part of the country social calendar too. A day at the picnics is all about getting out and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and they welcome a wide demographic: kids enjoying their first race day, families celebrating birthdays and plenty of hens and bucks nights. At the picnics, anything goes and everyone is welcome.
As the name hints, you can bring your own food to picnic race meets although you can also buy snacks at the track. If you want to make your race day experience something special, you can even hire your own private marquee trackside.
The 2022 Harden Picnic Races will be a six event race meeting fielding between eight to ten horses per race. Bookmakers and a tote cover the local races, as well as metropolitan races. If you're a fashionista but have been too shy to step up for fashions on the field at the big meets, this is also a great opportunity to style an outfit and see how you go. You can enter the popular 'Fashions on the Field' event at the Harden Picnics with plenty of great prizes to be won.
Harden is a beautiful ninety minute drive from Canberra so the Harden Picnics can easily be done as a day trip. If you plan to make a weekend of it, there are caravan parks, a motel and pub accommodation in the area.
