The historic Towong Turf Club has been racing horses in the magnificent Upper Murray since 1871. The course, one of the most picturesque in the State, hosts one meeting a year in March and attracts thousands of return race-goers.

The course is 10km east of Corryong and an easy 1½-hour drive from Albury-Wodonga. Steeped in history, it's a nostalgic visit to the racing of yesteryear with Victoria's oldest grandstand, century-old elm trees and sweeping views to mountains the Man from Snowy River once called home.

Locals consider the Costello Rural/Quadrant Securities Towong Cup in March to be one of the leading social events on the Upper Murray calendar.

Towong Racecourse is:

  • 10km from Corryong
  • 3 hours drive from Canberra
  • 1.5 hours from Gundagai
  • 1.5 hours from Albury-Wodonga
