Claire SadlerThe West Australian WA’s only beach racing carnival will be back bigger and better than ever before with expanded community events across the Rockingham foreshore. The annual


Channel 7 Rockingham Beach Cup, run by the Rotary Club of Palm Beach, will see more than 20,000 people flock to the foreshore on Sunday. Horses taking to the sand include former Fremantle


Dockers star Hayden Ballantyne’s Moorditj Warrior. The races will be bolstered by a free two-day community fair with activities, entertainment, and stalls running across Churchill and Bell


parks. Rockingham mayor Deb Hamblin said she couldn’t wait until the cup on Sunday. “It’s just such an iconic event for Rockingham,” she said. “We are known as where the coast comes to light


so I’m hoping people will come down to rediscover Rockingham. “There’s plenty of good places to watch the races from and it looks like it’s going to be jam packed with lots of great family


friendly activities at the community festival.” The City of Rockingham have contributed $177,500 to the Rotary Club to deliver this year’s instalment. Proceeds from the event are diverted to


Variety WA, the Australian Alzheimer’s Research Foundation and local projects. More information and tickets at rockinghambeachcup.com.au. GET THE LATEST NEWS FROM THEWEST.COM.AU IN YOUR
