Great Northern Hurdles
The Great Northern Hurdles is one of New Zealand's feature jumping races. History

The race has been run in early September since 2005, after previously being held in early June. The Great Northern Hurdles is now raced on the same day as the Great Northern Steeplechase. For most of its life the race was run over 4190m at Ellerslie Racecourse in Auckland. However, the race was moved to Te Aroha in:

 2018, raced over 4200m, due to a track upgrade at Ellerslie
 2021, raced over 4200m on October 3, due to COVID-19 restrictions. The 2020 race was held on October 17. The race is no longer held at Ellerslie after the Auckland Racing Club sold land for housing development. From 2022 the race has been held at Te Rapa. Race results
