About Bendigo Kart Club

Bendigo Kart Club (BKC) has been part of the Victorian karting scene since 1966, when the club first acquired its land on Sparrowhawk Road, Maiden Gully. The circuit, known as Marong Raceway, is a 650-metre anti-clockwise bitumen track with a grid capacity of 26 karts — a well-developed, properly equipped facility rather than a temporary venue. Practice is available four days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, 10 am–5 pm), making it accessible for members wanting regular seat time between race meetings. The club features on the Victorian karting calendar and offers camping and shower facilities on site, making it viable for competitors travelling from further afield.
