Kenilworth Racecourse

Kenilworth Racecourse is located in Cape Town, the capital city of the Western Cape, South Africa. In this lively hub of activity, the racecourse itself is the oldest in the entire country, having been established in 1881.

Kenilworth has an impressive reputation even before the horses make their way onto the track. The course is well known for being an important conservation area, having been established in 1985. The nature reserve is home to a lovely array of vegetation, some of which can only be seen in this region alone, truly making this one of the most unique racecourses in the world.

However, it is not just the nature reserve that makes this such a unique place to come and experience the sport. The course is unusual in that it has three tracks. The first being an old course that is 2700m in circumference with a 450m run-in, a new course of 2800m with a 600m run-in and a completely separate 1200m straight.
