FAQs

About Market Rasen Racecourse

Market Rasen Racecourse is a National Hunt venue located just outside the small market town of Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, England, and is the only racecourse in Lincolnshire. It is owned and operated by Jockey Club Racecourses and is renowned for its friendly, accessible atmosphere.

Racing at Market Rasen dates back to 1828, with meetings originally staged on various sites around the town before the course moved to its permanent home on Willingham Road in 1924. The track itself is a sharp, right-handed oval of about one and a quarter miles with minor undulations and relatively easy fences, which tend to favour handy, front-running types over staying grinders.

Although jump racing in Britain is traditionally a winter sport, Market Rasen is unusual in staging a year-round National Hunt programme, making it a key destination for summer jumping fans. The highlight is the Summer Plate meeting, featuring the prestigious Summer Plate Chase and Summer Handicap Hurdle, often paired with Ladies Day for a lively social atmosphere. Other notable races include the Bud Booth Mares Chase, Alan Swinbank Mares NH Flat Race, Prelude Handicap Hurdle and Prelude Handicap Chase, which help Market Rasen punch above its weight as a mid-sized but highly popular jumps venue.
