Cemetery Circuit is temporary street circuit in downtown Wanganui, New Zealand for motorcycle racing. The meeting traditionally held on Boxing Day each year since 1951. It attracted some of the best New Zealand motorbike racers to compete on the tight one-mile street circuit. The Circuit is named because it races around the old town cemetery in the area. It also got a nickname: “Southern Hemisphere’s Isle of Man”.
