Co-Op Superstores has confirmed its continued title sponsorship of the Co-Op Superstores Raceday at Cork Racecourse Mallow, taking place on Sunday, 11th October.
Now in its ninth consecutive year, the sponsorship highlights Co-Op Superstores’ ongoing commitment to supporting local communities and flagship events across Munster. A highlight of Cork Racecourse Mallow’s autumn racing calendar, the Co-Op Superstores Raceday promises an exciting afternoon of National Hunt racing, live music and a great day out for racing enthusiasts and families alike.
The sponsorship, supported by Dairygold through its retail business Co-Op Superstores, reflects the organisation’s strong connection with rural communities and the agricultural and equine sectors throughout Munster.
GREAT DAY AHEAD
As part of this year’s meeting, Co-Op Superstores will sponsor two races on the seven-race jumps card.
