Redcar Racecourse

Redcar Racecourse is steeped in history and can trace its beginnings back to the early part of 18th Century when racing was a much simpler affair with only a handful of races taking place on Redcar beach. Prizes were modest as were the facilities, a temporary grandstand was erected by an enterprising local joiner, Mr. Adamson, who charged for using it. In return he had to put up a judge’s box (a bathing van) and winning and starting posts free of charge!
