SNAG CHAMP 2026… congratulations Jack Lockerbie!
——————————
Well that’s a wrap for the 2026 Dederang Picnic Races and what a fantastic race day it was!

After a tight race to the finish line with Jack and Maddie neck to neck… Jack pulled ahead after devouring a final 3 snags to claim the title of Snag Champ 2026 with the new race record of 13 snags eaten.

A big thanks to our incredibly hard-working and fun-loving Hall Comittee volunteers for all their time and efforts coming together to provide another successful day bringing delicious burgers, snags and drinks to visitors to the race.

Thankyou everyone for supporting our local community group. We’ll see you next year!
