The Glenorchy Races run on Saturday 2 January 2027, the first Saturday after New Year, at the head of Lake Wakatipu. It is a country race day rather than a formal meeting, and the Glenorchy Community events calendar lists it from 11am to 5pm. Entry is paid at the gate on the day; the contact listed for the races is Ann Percy on 03 442 9901. The gate price and the race programme for 2027 had not been published as at early September 2026.
