The course at Thirsk is used solely for flat racing between April
and September. It is made up of two sections, a straight course of 6
furlongs, running parallel to Station Road, with the start close to
Thirsk Railway Station and the winning post in front of the
grandstand. There is also a left hand circuit, about one and a
quarter
miles in length which joins the straight course some three furlongs
from home.
There is a good view of the whole course from the grandstands, almost
entirely against a background of open countryside.
Unless directed
otherwise, car parking is on the opposite side of Station Road to
the course, just a short walk from the entrances to all enclosures.
The coach park is situated alongside the course. The entrances are
under half a mile from Thirsk Town Centre and under 1 mile from
Thirsk Rail Station. Free transport is provided from and to the
Station on Race Days.
All enclosures are well supplied with bar and
catering facilities and betting points (Tote and on-course
bookmakers).
