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.
All enclosures are well supplied with bar and
catering facilities and betting points (Tote and on-course
bookmakers).
