Racecourse Features and Location

Huntingdon Racecourse is a flat, right-handed circuit of approximately 1 mile 3 furlongs which provides excellent viewing. There are nine fences to a circuit, the open ditch in front of the grandstand providing a real spectacle. Huntingdon’s free draining nature often provides good ground and this coupled with the lack of undulations tends to favour the speedier type of horse as there is not such an emphasis on stamina. Bold jumping front runners tend to do well here in particular.

Huntingdon Racecourse is situated half a mile off the A1, on the A14, the A1/M1 link road that joins the M11 at Cambridge. This allows easy access from the West Midlands and the East Coast, as well as for visitors from both the North and South. Huntingdon Railway Station is on the main line from London Kings Cross and is approximately one and a half miles from the Racecourse.

The Racecourse enjoys ample car and coach parking and is well sign-posted from all directions. Helicopters are asked to contact the Racecourse Office before arrival.

A FREE Shuttle service operates on racedays between the Racecourse and Huntingdon Train Station. The service runs from the station-racecourse for two hours prior to the start of racing and racecourse-station from half an hour either side of the last race. Times may vary for evening meetings.
