Gopher Race

Dixons Pharmacy Gopher Race

The Dixons Pharmacy Gopher Race is an annual event, held at the Bloomin Tulips Festival.

Together with the Waratah-Wynyard Council, we organise for contestants to race their gophers down the main street of Wynyard. Starting at the traffic lights the contestant’s race down Goldie Street towards the finish line at the bottom roundabout.

Each contestant goes in the draw for a gift voucher from Dixons Pharmacy.

The Stig (Wynyard’s version) has also been known to make a special appearance.
Since 2013, we have two races – one for the men and one for the women

Every year we have many faces who turn up to participate in the race regardless of the out come.  We would like to honor Keith Hutton who has participated in the Iconic Gopher race since 2007.
