About Ballinrobe Racecourse
Ballinrobe Racecourse lies on the banks of the Robe River in County Mayo, a 40-minute drive north of Galway City. Racing has taken place here since the 1920s, and the modern track is celebrated for its lush summer turf and panoramic views of the Partry Mountains.
The course hosts both National Hunt and Flat fixtures, with June’s McHale Raceday featuring the McHale Mayo National and the McHale Mayo Hurdle. Another crowd-pleaser is The Lodge At Ashford Castle Ladies Day, where fashion competitions share the spotlight with competitive evening racing under the setting sun.
Ballinrobe’s tight right-handed circuit, easy road access and relaxed festival atmosphere make it a favourite warm-weather outing for locals and holidaymakers alike. The track’s floodlit parade ring and modern grandstand ensure spectators enjoy close-up views, while its well-drained surface means few weather-related abandonments throughout the busy May-to-September season.
