Some race days are about the racing. This one is about community.

In just a few weeks, Geelong Racing Club will proudly host the annual Right Mate Race Day; a day that brings our community together behind a great cause: men's mental health.

Right Mate was founded on a simple but powerful belief: no one should have to face life's challenges alone. Through events, conversations, and direct community support, they are creating spaces where men feel comfortable speaking up, connecting, and seeking help when they need it most.

The funds raised on the day help Right Mate continue this vital work, supporting local individuals and families, subsidising community programs, and ensuring those doing it tough know they have a network behind them.

Guests can enjoy a fantastic day of racing, a two-course lunch, live auctions, raffles, and inspiring guest speakers sharing their experiences and insights around mental health. What makes this event truly special is knowing that every ticket purchased and every conversation started contributes to something far bigger than a day at the races.

Tickets are 50% sold. If you have joined in before you know its a great day.
2026 Guest Speaker: Former AFL player Tim McGrath
