Corgi Cup this Saturday at the Meadowlands Racetrack

Tuesday, May 26, 2026

This Saturday, May 30, is the second annual Meadowlands Racetrack 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, we have upped the doggy contestant count to one hundred, so 100 Corgis will compete in 10 heats that begin at 6 p.m., with the Corgi Cup Final on the track at 9:45 pm. Each heat features ten dogs racing, or frolicking, to the finish line. The ten heat winners move on to the final, which takes place on the actual racetrack.

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. Clyde’s Homemade Italian Ice & Ice Cream is bringing all their classic flavors, while Wild Bill’s Soda will be serving up their thirst-quenching sodas. Doggieroadtrippin will be on-site with pup-friendly activities, and Groomington Eats will be here with the best dog treats in town.

Backyard doors open at 5 pm, first dog race at 6 pm, and first horse race at 6:35 pm.
