Cemetery Circuit is a temporary motorcycle street circuit in downtown Wanganui, New Zealand, so named because the route bisects the old town cemetery. The daylong road race has traditionally been held on Boxing Day (26 December) since 1951. The event attracts around 10,000 spectators and some of the best New Zealand motorbike racers to compete on the tight one-mile street circuit. It has earned a nickname: “Southern Hemisphere’s Isle of Man”.{{cite news |url=http://www.aatravel.co.nz/101/Regional101_Cemetery-Circuit.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091001213244/http://www.aatravel.co.nz/101/Regional101_Cemetery-Circuit.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 October 2009 |title=Cemetery Circuit |accessdate=18 November 2008 |date=n.d. |publisher=aatravel.co.nz }}
