Huntingdon Racecourse has unveiled details of its inaugural Community Awards Day which will take place next month.

The event, on Sunday, November, will showcase the very best of the local area, all within the vibrant atmosphere of a raceday.

Nestled in the heart of Cambridgeshire, Huntingdon Racecourse is renowned as one of Britain's friendliest racecourses and regularly recognised as the 'Best Small Racecourse' in the South Midlands and East Anglia.

It boasts a rich history, including the prestigious Peterborough Chase, which has seen legendary horses like Desert Orchid, One Man, Edredon Bleu, and Best Mate grace its track over the years. Known for its exceptional racetrack standards, Huntingdon has received 'Excellence Accolades' from VisitEngland.

The Community Awards Day is set to become a staple in the racecourse's calendar as a family-friendly raceday for the community. The event aims to celebrate and strengthen the local community bonds whilst promoting independent businesses, offering a unique opportunity for them to raise brand awareness, build trust within the community, and engage with their target audience.

There are three primary awards categories: Business Awards, Community Awards and School Awards with three subcategories in each, offering businesses, charities, schools and the surrounding community a chance to celebrate their achievements.

Additionally, all local businesses and charities are invited to set up their own stalls at the racecourse for the day providing a unique opportunity to engage with the public.

Huntingdon’s General Manager James Wilcox said, "This event embodies the spirit of Huntingdon—friendly, community-driven, and passionate about racing. We encourage all charities, businesses and schools within a 15-mile radius to get involved so we can celebrate deserving candidates."

The awards will be judged by a panel from Huntingdon Racecourse, recognising outstanding contributions to the community, regardless of the number of nominations received.
