Onetangi Beach Races 2026 at the Dirt Track Cancelled 😢

Event Organiser, Warwick Grey said the decision to cancel is heart wrenching; “A number of logistical challenges have made it impossible for us to present an event that we feel would honour the legacy of this much-loved Waiheke event.”

While the organising team is disappointed that we can’t stage the event this year, if there is enough interest in the future another attempt may be made.

Huge thanks to our supporters thus far - Waiheke Dirt Track Club Committee, the Waiheke Local Board, our Waiheke rescue service organisations, Waiheke Police and many Waiheke businesses and organisations including Arnet Law, Fullers, Sealink, Tankman,
Planorama, Obees, Placemakers, Pet Connect, Green Acres, Sign Maidens, Waiheke Distilling Company and Waiheke Water.

Let's vision for a positive future for this wonderful community event, meantime, fans can continue to see the history of past events on the Onetangi Beach Races website and social media pages.

Thank you Waiheke!
Warwick and the OBR team.
