>History
>The first such event was held in 1970 in the dry bed of Todd River between two Lions club members, in an ephemeral river in the southern Northern Territory. It soon became a part of the Alice Springs Centenary Year Celebrations. The popularity of the event was recognised by the Alice Springs Lions Club, and it started its annual celebration in the Traeger Park, but due to security reasons it was shifted to Arunga Park Speedway. It was 1979 when the race was transferred to purpose built camel race track the located at Blatherskite Park.[2]

>The Lions Club of Alice Springs Camel Cup is a major community and fundraising event and is worthy of recognition as a great community service.
>Over the forty years of the event that started as a friendly bet between two Cameleers, Noel Fullarton who recently had the camel race track at Blatherskite Park named after him and is still a member of the Lions Club of Alice Springs and Keith Mooney-Smith, the Alice Springs Lions Club Camel Cup has become one of the major tourist and fundraising events on the Central Australian and Northern Territory events calendar. Since it began several hundred thousand dollars have been donated back to the community of Alice Springs and tens of thousands of dollars have been raised by various other community organisations participating in the Camel Cup.
>The total amount raised over the past 40 years equates to over $1 Million, all of which has been donated to the community of Alice Springs.
>All money raised is donated back to the community of Alice Springs and/or used for community support by the Lions Club of Alice Springs. The Lions Club of Alice Springs advertises annually for community organisations to apply for funding and will be donating in excess of thirty thousand dollars directly to worthwhile and deserving organizations in the community of Alice Springs. This will be done at a major event where the donations will be publicized so that the profile of the Camel Cup is raised in the Alice Springs community.
>It is our aim to enhance the unique experience at the event and provide excellence hospitality to the Alice Springs community as well as national corporations that become involved in the event.
