Tramore Races

Address: Graun Hill ,
Tramore,
Co Waterford

Telephone: +353 (0)51 381425

Fax: +353 (0)51 390928

E-mail: racing@tramore.ie

Web: www.tramore-racecourse.com

Description:

Racing in Tramore, County Waterford began in 1785 and was originally held on the beach. Always at the mercy of the elements however, the course was badly breached in 1911 and racing was moved to an alternative, safer, venue, Graun Hill, where racing continues to be enjoyed to this day.

Following a €5 million redevelopment in 1997 to first-rate standards, the Waterford and Tramore racecourse offers visitors a range of excellent facilities to enhance your racing pleasure; from great bars and restaurants to ample parking and a crèche to keep the little ones entertained.

A mix of flat and jump races, the highlight of the calendar is the August Racing Festival, a four day extravaganza of thrilling races, style and socialising, with the energy and liveliness that comes from a crowd with a common aim: to have fun.

And Tramore is all about fun. From the funfair and amusement parks to a splash around in the sea, it’s the perfect destination for your racing holiday.

Swim: The 750m sea swim will take place in Dunmore East Bay and will have a beach start. The bay is sheltered with little or no waves and there is usually no swell during mid summer. The bay is surrounded by cliffs which offer great views for spectators.
Cycle: The transition area will be in a car park easily accessible via a path connected to the smaller of the two beaches where the swim exit will be. The 20Km cycle will be an 'out and back' route on the main Dunmore to Waterford road. This is an undulating road with a good surface.
Run: The 7km circuit run starts with a testing 'climb' followed by a run through some country roads before returning to the main Dunmore road for the home straight. The finish will be in the village of Dunmore East.
