Listowel Racecourse
Kerry's harvest meeting on The Island
Listowel Racecourse sits on The Island, a meadow in a loop of the River Feale immediately west of the market town of Listowel in north Co. Kerry, roughly 25km north-east of Tralee. Racing on the present course dates back to 1858. The track stages both National Hunt and Flat racing and is best known for the week-long Listowel Harvest Festival each September, the last major Irish flat-and-jumps meeting of the season and traditionally one of the best attended after Galway. The festival's centrepiece is the Guinness Kerry National, a valuable handicap chase run over about three miles on the Wednesday of the week. Listowel is a sharp, flat, left-handed circuit: an inner course of just over a mile and a longer outer circuit of around a mile and a furlong, with a run-in of roughly two furlongs.
