Sedgefield Racecourse
United Kingdom
Sedgefield Racecourse is an English left-handed horse racing course, used for National Hunt racing. It is owned by Arena Racing Company and located close to the town of Sedgefield, County Durham. The course is an undulating, left handed oval of about one mile and two furlongs, with tight bends. It was scheduled to host sixteen fixtures in 2026 and is also used as a venue for numerous other indoor and outdoor events, such as weddings and conferences. Racing at Sedgefield has taken place since 1732 and moved to land laid out in the grounds of Sands Hall in 1804. The current course was laid out in 1846, when the first officially recognised meetings were made. Its facilities were very limited and the course narrowly avoided closure on occasions in the twentieth century but has survived, despite a high fatality rate (which has led to reconfigurations of the track).
