Inaugural Corgi Cup this Saturday at the Meadowlands Racetrack

Tuesday, September 2, 2025

This Saturday, September 6, is the Meadowlands Racetrack’s first-ever Corgi Cup!

This family-friendly event features Corgis racing at the track between live harness racing. It’s a night of fun, laughs, music, doggies, and horse racing. And the best part? Admission and parking are free.

This year, eighty doggy contestants will compete in eight heats, beginning at 6 p.m., with the Corgi Cup Final on the track at 9:25 p.m. Each heat features ten dogs racing, or frolicking, to the finish line. The eight heat winners move on to the final, which takes place on the actual racetrack.

Special thanks to Spot & Tango – an innovative pet wellness brand on a mission to revolutionize the dog food industry. They have provided our contestants with some free UnKibble dog food samples and free poop bags!

In addition to the pooch activity, fans can enjoy a variety of activities. They can party with DJ Alx, indulge in great food and cocktails from the track’s Backyard BBQ & Grill, along with homemade ice cream from Clyde’s, visit the Doggieroadtrippin booth, and grab some dog treats from Groomington Eats – the best dog treat food truck around.

Backyard doors open at 5 pm, with the first dog race at 6 pm and the first horse race at 6:20 pm.
