It is a jumps only course and it’s feature race is the Peterborough Chase which takes place in November.
Course Characteristics:
Huntingdon is a right handed (clockwise) circuit of 1½ miles and it is totally flat throughout.
Long striding, speedy horses do well and the only challenge seems to be the second last fence which can catch some runners out if approached too fast. It is the type of course where form holds out well and many course specialists also emerge.

Annual membership: Annual £150 single, £275 dual. Half year, after July, £80 single, £140 dual.
Location:
Located about 2 miles west of the town the racecourse is very close to the junction of the A1 and A14. Access is via a private road.
Ease of public transport access: Reasonable (Train to Huntingdon then free shuttle bus or 1.5 mile walk)
