January Date TBC
Te Anau is not commonly associated with harness racing – in fact it doesn’t even have a racetrack, however, for one day a year, Mokonui street of the town will be closed to motor traffic and two lanes of sand will be laid for the famed Te Anau Harness Street Race. The event involves considerable commitment and effort from the community and sponsors. Trainers and horses travel from throughout Southland for this unique event.
After the final race, an auction will be held in Lions Park, where punters can spend their Fiordland pounds from their day’s winnings to bid for an assortment of prizes.
