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 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 each at The Open, Boylesports International and The Festival each season.
