Killarney Races

Killarney Racecourse is a sharp, left-handed Irish horse racing venue in County Kerry.

This track is home to both National Hunt and flat races between May and October, but there isn’t a lot of high-profile action over jumps or on the level. A lap of this flat course is about a mile-and-a-quarter, and is more triangular than oval in shape.

The fences for steeplechases like the Killarney National aren’t too stiff. The most popular Killarney races are those at their summer festivals in May, July and August.
