Welcome to Folkestone

High numbers greatly favoured at 5f and 6f.

Flat and National Hunt. This is a right-handed track of approximately one mile three furlongs in circumference and a distance from the home turn of two and a half furlongs, with very sharp turns and undulations. There is a seven furlong straight track on the Flat, although seven furlong races can also be run on the round course. On the jumping track there are run-ins from the final obstacle of 220 yards (chases) and 250 yards (hurdles). On both the flat and ntional hunt courses this is a venue where long-striding horses are at a disadvantage.

Folkestone, the only track in Kent, is now a member of the Arena Leisure Group of courses. Although top-class horses are rarely seen at this venue, it does provide plenty of competitive action throughout the year. The management are embarking on a strategy of improving the National Hunt programme over the next few years.

The course is six miles west of Folkestone at Westenhanger. Use Junction 11 of the M20.

Westenhanger Station adjoins the course.
