Cartmel Race Track

Cartmel Race Track: Jump Racing at its Best!

Cartmel Race Track is a small race track located in the picturesque English Lake District of Cumbria.

Cartmel Race Track meetings are typically held in six days that fall on the May and August Bank Holidays. Cartmel Race Track also has a barbecue raceday sometime in July.

Cartmel Race Track has a left handed oval of about one mile and one furlong, which is bisected by the finishing straight. The run in at just over four furlongs is the longest in the UK. Cartmel Race Track's oval has stiff fences, undulating contours, punctuated by a carnival atmosphere.

Cartmel Race Track's new Grandstand has been improved such that viewing galleries, bookmaker facilities and of course Cartmel Restaurant has panoramic views of Cartmel Race Track.

• Recent additions to the Cartmel Race Track calendar were the extra Wednesday in May and Thursday in July.

• In the mid-1960s, Colonel Davy Pain and his Clerk of the Course, Tim Riley led the way in Cartmel Race Track's shift from a small holiday fun track to the front line of National Hunt racing.

• Constant improvements and refurbishments have contributed to the continued rise in the stature of Cartmel Race Track in the world of UK jump racing. The race track has been improved substantially and a new irrigation system installed to ensure the integrity of the going. In 2004, the old Grandstand at Cartmel Race Track was demolished and a new Grandstand was created which provides first class facilities for all the jockeys and officials as well as a new restaurant and hospitality facilities.
