About the Racecourse
Cheltenham Racecourse is a stunning natural amphitheatre. But it’s the undulations of the course, the test of the fences and hurdles and the fight to the finish up the legendary Cheltenham hill that combine to test the true strength of any thoroughbred racehorse and rider.
The bulk of the racing takes place on The Old Course and the New Course, with the Cross Country Steeplechase course hosting three memorable races each season.
The Old Course
Used each season for The Showcase, The Open and the first two days of The Festival.
The New Course
Used each season for The Boylesports International, New Year’s Day, Festival Trials Day, the 3rd and 4th days of The Festival (including the Gold Cup) and The April and May meetings.
The Cross Country Steeplechase course
Used for one race on each of 16th November, 14th December and 11th March in the 2007/08 season.
