Legends Day returns on June 12

CLINTON, ON — Postponed due to the pandemic in 2021, Legends Day will celebrate its 11th edition on June 12, 2022.

The jewel harness racing event in Clinton Raceway’s racing calendar, Legends Day is a biennial event created by the track in 2001 to showcase Hall Of Fame harness drivers. The spectacle serves as a major fundraiser for the Clinton community.

Since its inception, Legends Day has generated more than $250,000 for the local hospital and schools.

The event will include a full afternoon of harness racing highlighted by the Legends Day Trot which is contested by the eight guest drivers. Fans can access the Legends throughout the day in a Meet ‘N Greet and rub shoulders with them at a dinner afterwards.

Fundraising is generated through a number of initiatives, including a large silent auction and sponsorships.

All donations and sponsorships are sent in their entirety directly to the benefitting organization. This year’s recipient is the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation.

The following sponsorships are available for Legends Day 2022:

• Sponsorship of the Legends Race: $5,000
• Sponsorship of one of the other races: $1,500
• Sponsorship of the dinner following the races: $5,000
• Donation of a Silent Auction item: $300 retail minimum

All sponsors receive acknowledgement on Clinton Raceway’s website, race broadcast, and race program.
